FAQs

Q: Do I need to lubricate cases?
A: Not required due to the carbide sizing die, but light lubrication can help with smoother operation due to large case size.

Q: Is a Factory Crimp Die included?
A: No, this is a 3-die set. A separate Factory Crimp Die is recommended for heavy-recoil cartridges like .480 Ruger.

Q: Why is a strong crimp important for .480 Ruger?
A: Heavy recoil can cause bullets to move forward in the cylinder; a firm roll crimp prevents this.

Q: Can I use this for .475 Linebaugh?
A: No, they are different cartridges and require different dies.
