Lee 92438 Pacesetter Fl Die 220 Swift
The Lee Precision 92438 Pacesetter full-length die for .220 Swift is a straightforward, dependable tool for handloaders working with this classic varmint cartridge. Lee's Pacesetter line has earned a reputation for honest engineering and value—no frills, no marketing noise, just solid die construction that does the job. If you're reloading .220 Swift ammunition for prairie dog work, varmint hunting, or precision rifle practice, this full-length die handles the critical task of resizing and depriming your cases to factory specifications.
Full-length dies are the workhorse of most reloading benches: they resize the case body and move the shoulder back to spec, then simultaneously eject the spent primer. This approach works well for shooters loading ammunition for rifles that may be shared or used across different platforms, or when you simply want cases that chamber reliably in any .220 Swift rifle. The Pacesetter design is no-nonsense—it's been in production for decades because it gets the job done without unnecessary complexity.
Lee dies are known for tight tolerances and good longevity. The .220 Swift is a high-velocity, relatively small case, and consistent full-length sizing ensures consistent bullet seating and ignition. Whether you're new to handloading or a veteran who values lean, practical equipment, the Pacesetter die fits that practical philosophy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a full-length reloading die do?
A full-length die resizes the entire case body and shoulder back to SAMMI specification and removes the spent primer in one stroke. This ensures reliable chamber fit and is the standard approach for most rifle reloading, especially if ammunition will be fired in multiple rifles or shared among shooters.
Is this die compatible with all .220 Swift rifles?
Yes. This is a SAMMI-spec full-length die for .220 Swift and will work with any standard .220 Swift rifle. It sizes cases to factory specification for universal compatibility.
Do I need additional equipment to use this die?
You'll need a reloading press that accepts standard American (large) die threads, plus the standard reloading components—primer removal tool or press setup, cartridge cases, primers, powder, and bullets. The die itself handles sizing and depriming.
