The Lee Precision Universal Expanding Die (Model 90798) is a single reloading die that handles case expansion across an unusually broad range of rifle calibers—from the smallest .22 Hornet all the way up to the largest Ultra Mag cases. If you reload multiple calibers and want to consolidate your die collection, this universal expanding die eliminates the need to buy separate dies for each cartridge, making it a practical choice for handloaders who work with diverse rifle rounds.
Universal dies work by using a stepped or adjustable expanding mandrel that accommodates different case neck diameters within its range. This single-die approach appeals to reloaders working across small-to-large rifle cartridges, whether you're prepping .22 Hornet brass for varmint loads or resizing cases for magnum hunting ammunition. The design keeps your press setup flexible and reduces equipment redundancy.
Lee Precision has built a reputation for offering reloading tools at accessible price points without sacrificing functionality. This universal expander is no exception—it's engineered to perform the expansion step consistently across its caliber range, which is essential for proper sizing and case runout control before seating bullets.
