Description

Lee Carbide Sizing Die 38 Super

Lee 38 Super/38 ACP Carbide Factory Crimp Die sizes the cartridge while being crimped so every round will positively chamber freely with factory-like dependability. This die applies a taper crimp. The adjusting screw quickly and easily sets the desired amount of crimp. Trim Length is not critical so this extra operation takes less time than it would if cases were trimmed and chamfered. A firm crimp is essential for dependable and accurate ammunition, as it eliminates the problems of poor ignition of slow-burning magnum powders.

Best Suited For

  • Reloaders working with .38 Super, .38 ACP, and similar straight-wall pistol cartridges
  • Shooters using semi-auto pistols requiring reliable chambering
  • High-volume reloaders who want fast, low-maintenance case sizing
  • Users upgrading or replacing the sizing stage in an existing die setup

This die is ideal for reloaders who already own other dies (expander, seater) and only need a dedicated sizing/depriming die.

When To Use It

Use this die during the first stage of reloading:

Primary Use

  1. Resize fired brass to factory dimensions
  2. Remove spent primer (depriming)

When It’s Most Useful

  • Restoring fired or range brass to proper dimensions
  • Ensuring smooth chambering in semi-auto pistols
  • Preparing brass before expanding, charging, and seating

Because of the carbide insert, you can typically run cases dry (no lubrication), making it faster for batch processing.

FAQs

1. Do I need case lubrication?

No. Carbide dies are designed to operate without lubrication, though a light lube can reduce effort in high-volume sessions.

2. Can this die load complete ammunition?

No. This die only performs:

  • Resizing
  • Depriming

You still need:

  • Expanding die
  • Bullet seating die
  • Crimp die (if required)

3. Will it work with other calibers like 9mm Largo?

Not recommended. While similar, proper sizing may not be achieved for non-listed calibers.

4. How durable is the carbide insert?

Very durable. Carbide is extremely hard and designed for long-term use without wear in normal reloading conditions.

5. Why choose a single sizing die instead of a full set?

  • Replacement for a worn or damaged die
  • Custom setups (e.g., progressive presses)
  • Upgrading to carbide from steel dies
