LEE Precision 90963 9-mm Carbide 4-Die Set Luger (Grey)

Lee precision dies are the absolute best dies that you can go with for basic reloading without spending $300.

Great set! Love these dies for reloading 9mm, I reload bulk range ammo, not after match grade. These consistently work well with my lee single stage press. I tend to produce batches 200rds at a time using each die. The powder through expander works great with a funnel and the provided scoop. I find the scoop to be consistent and accurate, I do however use 2 .3cc scoops of unique behind my 124gr as it’s a little more than the .5cc scoop supplied and gets me a good load that’s not over power but also not under. But the .5 works well with my 147gr rounds. I have not had any issues with this set and would recommend to anyone. Lee is very affordable and makes my loads consistent. The included crimp die provides ease of mind and is a good final step, just an incredible value for everything included.

Works well.

One of the best die sets available. Its been 2 years and still using it making quality ammo. Great value for the money and easy to install

High quality set of dies that are well worth the money and have great quality craftmanship. Can't go wrong with Lee Precision Dies

I've been using Lee supplies for well over twenty years now, and I couldn't be happier. I'm pretty old school in that I've never gone to a progressing or turret press...no, my first press is my current one, my good old Lee breech lock Challenger press...named Matilda. Frankly, with ammo prices and availability being what they are these days, doing handloads is pretty much my only realistic option right now to keep my supply chain of practice ammunition intact. Like my press, the Lee dies have never let me down, even after twenty years. I especially like that I NEVER have to readjust the die when switching them out of the press. Another plus is that the carbide ring makes case lubrication unnecessary. This set is a new purchase for me, as I recently picked up a Europellet handgun. I'm pleased that Lee quality has NOT changed since I last bought dies. I prefer this four-die set as you get the crimp die. While that die is not strictly necessary, I found that I like to use it as a fail safe to just be sure my dimensions are correct. I don't think the price point is that much higher than the three die set. Probably unnecessary is the powder scoop, as if you're doing this regularly you should really have a scale instead. But it's nice to have I suppose. These dies are built tough, will last forever, and represent a real value in this market. You only ever need to buy one set unless you need spares or something. The best dies on the market, bar none.

It seems that the sizing die sizes the case a little on the small side, causing an "hourglass" bulge in the cases after seating the bullets. I purchased a Hornady die set and the problem disappeared. Secondly, the seat and crimp die is extremely difficult to understand how to properly adjust, (I finally got it adjusted properly), but it seems that this die and the crimp die are trying to put a roll crimp on the 9mm casings which is not what I want. I purchased a taper crimp die separately and that works great. Lastly, it is easy for the bullets to be seated crookedly. I purchased a Hornady seating die that has a sleeve to straighten the bullet before and while it is being seated and that problem was solved. Still it is a good die set and the carbide sizing insert means that you do not have to lubricate the case before sizing which you have to do with the Hornady die set. The Hornady dies set though does not include a shell holder, which the lee die has. The Lee die also comes with a dipper for measuring the powder charges and it is fairly accurate, although I would not depend on it as I am approaching maximum loads.

If you are an ammunition reloader, these dies are the best for the price-point. I ordered these to replace my old LEE set that has more than 200K rounds through them. They were starting to get a little old and showing their age.
