Lee Carbide 3-Die Set .38 Short and Long Colt
$36.75
The Lee Carbide 3-Die Set for .38 Short and Long Colt gives you a complete reloading solution built around carbide technology—no case lube required. This set handles both .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt rounds, making it a practical choice if you're working with these classic pistol cartridges. Lee's carbide dies are engineered to last through thousands of reloading cycles, and the three-die configuration covers the essential steps: sizing, decapping, and bullet seating. Whether you're a new handloader or returning to the bench after time away, this set keeps the fundamentals straightforward without unnecessary complexity.
What sets this package apart is the thoughtful engineering behind each die. The decapper won't break under normal use, the bullet seater floats freely to accommodate slight variations in case length, and an integrated stuck case remover handles the occasional stubborn round without requiring separate tools. The finger-adjustable locking rings let you dial in your setup quickly and tweak it as needed. Since carbide dies eliminate the need for case lube, you'll spend less time prepping cases and more time at the press—a real convenience on longer reloading sessions.
The set ships in a handy storage case that keeps everything organized and protected. If you're loading .38 Short or Long Colt for vintage revolvers, target shooting, or hunting, this carbide die set removes guesswork from the process and gives you the durability to reload with confidence for years.
