Description

Lee Pacesetter 3 Die Set 500 S&W Magnum  #90288

The Lee Precision 500 S&W 3-Die set is a cost-effective, high-quality reloading die set. The Lee Powder Through Expanding Die, Carbide Full Length Sizing Die with Decapping Unit, and Bullet Seater Die are included in each Pacesetter 3-Die Set. Each set is composed of steel and comes with the necessary Shellholder, Powder Measure, load data, and a plastic storage box.
 

Best Suited For

  • Reloaders working with .500 S&W Magnum straight-wall revolver cartridges
  • Hunters and shooters loading heavy-recoil handgun rounds
  • Beginners looking for a complete, budget-friendly die set
  • Reloaders who want minimal case lubrication (thanks to carbide sizing die)

This set is particularly ideal for those reloading powerful revolver cartridges where strong crimping and consistent sizing are critical.

When To Use It

Use this die set when:

  • Reloading fired .500 S&W Magnum brass for reuse
  • Producing ammunition for:
    • Big-game hunting
    • Heavy handgun loads
    • Practice or range shooting
  • You want an all-in-one die solution (resize, expand, seat/crimp)

Typical workflow:

  1. Sizing & depriming
  2. Expanding / powder charging
  3. Bullet seating + crimping

The carbide design allows little to no case lubrication, speeding up the process.

FAQs
