will this press handle the Lee .338 Lapua factory Crimp die? It will not fit my breech lock.
1582035
Yep. Just take out the insert to handle the bigger dies. Remember to use a little blue Loctite when you reinsert the bushing, it has a tendency to work loose.
1582036
Don't know why it wouldn't, my question is why do you crimp rifle cases? Are the rounds in your mag backing out? Not enough neck tension maybe?
1582037
I do not load .338 but I believe the die will press out 50 cal so I would assume it would do .338 Lapua
1582038
Yes it will. The lee .338 die has a 1 1/4 in thread. The Lee precision classic CAST press has a 1 1/4 in thread. There are quite a few smaller presses out there that do not have the larger (1 1/4 in) size, they only have a 7/8 in thread.

I suspect it will but to be sure -- call Titan Reloading (Lee Distributor) at 1-262-244-7023. They are both knowledgeable, responsive and accessible to phone calls.

From what I've seen, most all dies are 'standard thread' and will work in many other presses of different manufacturers. In this case, I couldn't tell you; all of my press equipment is Lee.

Greetings karen,I sort of learned to feel every single time i pull the press handle.I added a factory crimp die. It helps for makes the rounds more uniform. I do believe too much gadgets are having negative impressions on me. Honestly,you don't need them :0) The powder check on Lees products are made prisizely & i thrust them.Have fun reloading.kind Regards,DT

the lee 4 die set for 9mm is what you need - you definitely want the crimp die if thats what you mean

They should work on any Lee press. I'm unfamiliar with the breech lock system, but it should work fine.

no!!!!! it will not! the lee pro 1000 has its own style of priming. very problematic but it has its own nonetheless. this is made for the breechlock style press. Google is your friend

The Lee dies are threaded 7/8"x 14 ...I use them in an RCBS press. Check the threads on your Lyman press to make sure they're the same.

You probably mean the fourth die as the powder through expander die? That's used for progressive and turret presses to charge powder on the press using at least (that I know of) the Lee auto-disk powder measure.So you won't need the powder die for that, but you still would need it to flare the case.You definitely need to crimp 9mm. The seating die technically can crimp, but the FCD does a much better job. I think you can accidentally set the seater die to the point where it roll crimps, and that would be bad for 9mm.

Yes, always check the length, but these dies will not knock out the primer crimp. You will need at tool for that to return the primer diameter back to factory size

I have no reason to believe it would not work, you may need to drill some additional holes to match the foot print of your Hornady press, I use mine on both a lee press and an RCBS Rifle Press.

Lee makes a 300 H&H; mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.
1122638
Absolutely not. The two cartridges are completely different except for neck diameter. Use one like this instead: Lee Precision 300 Aac Blackout Very Limited Production 3-Die

Depends on what machine you are using. Lee makes two different sets of shell holders. The red box works only with the hand priming tool. The green box will work with any of the loading presses. I have a Lee classic turret press and the green box is what I needed but the description on the red one said it would work with the press. It doesn't. So if you are needing shell holders for one of the Lee press reloaders buy the green box, not the red one. I'm new too and was fooled by the description.

Yes to both. It takes the standard 7/8-14 dies. As for loading, it depends on how many I'm loading. For only a box(50) I will use this press for the whole loading process. For 100 or more, I just do the prep work on this press as it can get a little cumbersome after awhile. If you do get this as your primary press, I recommend ordering 2 extra breech lock bushings. They will save you a lot of time on set up.

I also have a lee classic 4 hole turret press and yes the shell holder will work.

The only press I know of which uses non-standard metallic cartridge dies is the Dillon Square Deal progressive pistol press. Every other press (whether single-stage, turret, or progressive) I have ever seen uses the same standard die thread (7/8-14). So these dies will work on anything but a Dillon Square Deal B press.

No I don't think so. The hell holder that comes with the die set is for the press, the shell holders for the hand primer are different.
