Lee speed die?

non mortuus

I was looking at the leeprecision website and under close outs they have some 'speed die' listed for varies calibers. What is a speed die, and how is different than the other dies available??

thanks

Meant to be use in a single stage press, it combines all three pistol dies into one package so you don't have to change dies when loading just change the guts of the die, kind of neat if you only have a single stage press.

Hi Non , I've used the speed dies and still use them. They are easy to adjust and work well when I make my 44 mag. and 44 special .I can turn out 100 rounds in about an hour after all the prep work is done.

I have one for .357mag and 45ACP, the 357 die works OKAY, but the 45 die is worthless, I ruined about a dozen cases in a row, and wasted an hour of my life because the speed die doesn't "bell" the mouths enough to fit speer or hornady bullets. I went down to the Sportsman's Warehouse and bought a set of RCBS carbide dies and that was the end of that.

My 45ACP speed dies work flawlessly!
