Lee Carbide Breech Lock Bushings 4-Die Set 9Mm
$71.99
The Lee Carbide Breech Lock Bushings 4-Die Set for 9mm is purpose-built for reloaders who run a Lee Breech Lock Quick Change press and want a complete, grab-and-go solution for 9mm Luger handgun ammunition. This carbide die set is especially valuable if you're processing mixed range brass—the durable carbide sizing die handles fired cases from various manufacturers without flinching, and the full-length sizing geometry ensures consistent chambering across your stockpile. Color-coded quick-change bushings make it fast to swap between calibers or configurations, eliminating fumbling and setup errors at the bench.
What separates this set from single-stage basics is the carbide factory crimp die, which applies a consistent taper crimp in one stroke and helps lock in reliable ignition and feeding—especially important for semi-automatic pistols where sloppy seating can cause issues downrange. The powder-through expanding die lets you add charge directly into the case without an intermediate step, saving time on high-volume batches. You get a universal shell holder, powder dipper, and load data to get started immediately.
Carbide dies require less maintenance than steel and tolerate out-of-spec brass without galling, making them ideal if you're sorting through bulk range pickups or prepping ammo for serious use. This set assumes you already own a Breech Lock press; it's not a standalone solution, but it transforms what you've got into a dedicated 9mm station.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this die set work on my Lee single-stage press?
Only if your press has the Lee Breech Lock Quick Change feature. If you have a standard Lee press without the quick-change slot, this set won't fit. Check your press documentation or contact us if you're unsure.
What's the advantage of carbide dies for 9mm reloading?
Carbide dies are harder and more durable than steel, so they resist scratching and galling when you're processing rough or mixed brass—common when pulling casings from the range. They also need less cleaning between sessions and tolerate out-of-spec brass better than steel.
Does this set come with everything I need to start reloading 9mm?
This set includes the dies, shell holder, powder dipper, and load data, but you'll still need a reloading press (with Breech Lock Quick Change), a reloading scale or powder measure, primers, powder, and bullets. It's a die set, not a complete press kit.
What does the factory crimp die do?
The carbide factory crimp die applies a precise taper crimp to seated bullets in one stroke, locking the round together reliably. This is especially useful for semi-automatic pistols where crimp consistency affects feeding and reliability.
