Lee Carbide Breech Lock Bushings 4-Die Set .45 Colt
$71.99
The Lee Carbide Breech Lock Bushings 4-Die Set for .45 Colt is a complete reloading system built for shooters who already run a Breech Lock Quick Change press and want to reload .45 Colt ammunition consistently and affordably. This four-die set handles everything from fired brass preparation through finished cartridge, using Lee's proven carbide technology to reduce sizing friction and extend die life—a serious advantage if you're working through bulk range brass or high-volume loads.
What sets this kit apart is the color-coded quick-change bushings that make die swaps intuitive, even during long loading sessions. The full-length sizing die gets fired brass back to spec, the powder-through expanding die prepares the case mouth, the micrometer bullet seating die gives you precise control over seating depth, and the carbide factory crimp die applies a uniform crimp in one pass. You also get a universal shell holder, powder dipper, and printed load data to get started immediately.
Reloaders working with mixed headstamp range brass—especially common at public ranges—benefit from carbide dies because they don't require lubrication the way steel dies do, cutting prep time and mess. If you also shoot .454 Casull, load data is available separately, giving you flexibility down the road. This is a no-nonsense choice for serious .45 Colt shooters who want dependable, repeatable ammunition without constant tooling maintenance.
