Product Description
Dillon Carbide 3-Die Set for Rifle - .223/5.56mm
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
The sizing/depriming die is full-length, to minimum tolerances, sizing cases down to function in semi- and fully-automatic firearms. We strongly suggest that a headspace case gage be used to correctly adjust the size die. For high volume users, such as commercial reloaders, law enforcement agencies, and high power or service rifle competitors, we also offer .223 and .308 die sets with a full-length carbide sizing die. Lubrication is still required, but the increased scratch resistance and die longevity of carbide are of great benefit to these groups of users.
The depriming assembly includes a carbide expander ball for "squeak-free," effortless neck expansion. This expander ball is located in the middle of the depriming stem to take advantage of superior initial leverage for easier extraction. In the event of a stuck case, the design of the depriming assembly allows it to function as a stuck case remover.
Bullet Seating Die
The bullet seating die is internally designed to keep the bullet straight throughout the seating process. Once properly adjusted, the only measurable runout will be that which is inherent in the bullet.
Taper Crimp Die
The taper crimp die is also specially configured to centre both the case neck and the case body, thereby aligning the entire cartridge for a more uniform crimp. Dillon Rifle Dies are designed to meet the more rigid requirements for both accuracy and precision demanded by today's marksman. A taper crimp die is preferred for loading ammunition intended to be used in semi-automatic firearms with detachable box magazines, and in lever-action firearms with tubular magazines.
