It doesn't crimp when the seating dies are inserted. In reality, what you see on the picture is different from what you receive. For the first time from Lee/Hornady/RCBS, I've obtained a die set that doesn't The amount of die sets I have is about twelve. According to the description and what is actually included, the item in the picture appears to be a crimping die, when in fact it Here is the The SOCOM 458, in spite of being new to me, certainly has a lot to teach me. Don't be afraid to use a thick layer of case lube, because otherwise your case will stick to the receptacle You can size. The importance of this cannot be overstated. Please note that the full length and width are not included in this price. A capping die works the best as long as your cases are almost dripping in lubricant. A neck expander or flow regulator It works as expected when charging dies through. Despite its great performance, the seating die doesn't crimp when used. In this case, I'm glad I started with five cases instead of six, but one was destroyed due to insufficient case grease, since I do not have any way to crimp them. In fact, I purchased a copy of This is a Lee 458 SOCOM factory crimp die and it does not work. See my review, it will be updated after I receive my new one.
It makes loading 458 SOCOM surprisingly easy and makes it possible to make
I had a side-action (straight-acting) rifle that all chambered and fired perfectly "BAR-" (pull the bolt) Bullet Action Rifle (15") The fifteenth)! My second purchase of Lee Dies would, and will be my third purchase. In fact, I am already doing that! It cost me to buy the Lee Factory Crimp die. The SOCOM has 458 people!.
What I'm dealing with is of high caliber. I think it is unlikely that I will be matched exactly with 458 SOCOM. Whether we like it or not. There's no screwdriver here, just a hammer. Even so, I prefer to work with Redding dies for accuracy, but since I'm not loading for accuracy, I figured I'd save some money and get these Lee dies instead. An inexpensive product does not necessarily equate to a cheap product. This set of dies is well crafted and will do the job you need. As far as I can tell, the only problem with the seating plug is that it The seats in my car still have rings in them after I ordered custom plugs from Lee. Since the rings do not affect performance, I am able to cope with it. The book would have received a 5 star rating without a doubt.
The sizing die for 458 SOCOM was dramatically undersized when I received it. My experience with Lee products has been very positive except for this specific product. In both cases that were fired and those that had been reloaded, the cases would not advance past halfway and become As a result of the return, I ordered Hornady which was a perfect fit. I still order Lee products, but this item did not meet my expectations.
It is costly to buy 458 factory ammo. However, I ordered these dies with a factory crimp die and My handloads are the only ones I have ever shot. The velocity on the chronograph is consistent, and the grouping is tight. As good as the Lee dies I already have. Really fun with a big bore rifle for less money. You have plenty of options in the There are a lot of handloading possibilities with the 458. As of yet, we've used both HP 300 grain and ballistic tip bullets with these, but we anticipate that they will also work well with heavier bullets.
Lee is the caliber I use for most of my guns, and I have never had a problem with them. It sounds like there are something wrong with them, the stem is almost all the way out after adjusting the seating die. In the sizing dies, cases were sized and then dropped into the chambers, where they were so tight almost did not fit. Lee dies still play an important role in my 38/357/9/40/45/5 die sets. There was no problem in 56. In the end, these didn't work out and ended up in the garbage.
Crimping die not provided by the factory. Arrival of the package was quick, but the packaging was poor. The plastic box was taken out of the Amazon packaging and parts were left strewn inside. The parts I received did not match what was pictured or described. I guess I can buy a separate crimping die for another $18, so this is not such a great Had I known about the slightly more expensive dies, I would have bought them. In the long run, it would have been cheaper.
In the case of pointed bullets, the bullet seater will leave a nasty impression. It is only meant for round nose bullets. If you take it apart, grind it so you don't get a mark on your skin there are instructions for how to do that- If I had to do it all over again, I would just buy Redding's set.
