Product Description
Dillon Carbide 3-Die Set for Pistol - 9mm
Dillon's Carbide 3-Die Set comes with dies for sizing/depriming, bullet seating, and crimping (taper crimp for autos, accu-crimp for revolvers). All dies are made of extremely hard, dense and durable carbide.
Sizing/Depriming Die
Dillon's sizing/depriming dies feature a unique "floating decap assembly" with a snap spring that throws the spent primer off the pin and eliminates the problem of primer "draw back" that often occurs when decapping military brass. The primary feature of Dillon's size die design, the long, tapered carbide ring with a radiused opening, remains unchanged.
That radiused opening, and its importance to progressive reloading, is one of the reasons why Dillon's seat and crimp dies are better. They found a way of manufacturing these dies that has enabled them to make the lead-in radius even bigger! The bigger radius makes progressive loading with Dillon equipment even smoother, but that's still only a part of the story.
Bullet Seating Die
Dillon's new quick-disassembly seat die allows the user to disassemble and clean the seat die without losing adjustment. In this manner, bullet lube and shavings can be quickly removed from the die, thereby guaranteeing a constant seating depth. A "flip-flop" seating stem and a clip has been incorporated that enables you to remove the die insert and change the seating stem from round nose to semi-wadcutter without unscrewing a seating stem out of the die body. Both types of seating stems have always been included, but the new double-ended design makes it a simple matter to remove a pin, reverse the seating stem, make any minor seating depth adjustments that may be necessary and go on loading in a fraction of the time it used to take.
Crimp Die
Dillon has made it easy to remove the die insert for cleaning without having to change the critical crimp adjustment. Once the crimp die is set for the proper amount of crimp, you'll never have to change it. This is especially good news for all those who load lead bullets! Typically, one would have to unscrew the die from the toolhead, disassemble the die in order to remove any bullet lube or lead residue, and then start from square one to re-adjust the crimp. Those days are over. With Dillon's crimp die, simply pop a clip and the die insert drops into your hand for cleaning.
This die set is not compatible with the Square Deal B reloader.
