Lee Precision 6.5X55 Swedish Rifle Precision Micrometer Bullet Seating Die

The Lee Precision 6.5X55 Swedish rifle precision micrometer bullet seating die gives reloaders the control they need for consistent, accurate ammunition without the premium price tag. Built for handloaders who demand tight tolerances, this die combines a precision micrometer adjustment system with a floating bullet guide that keeps your cases and projectiles in perfect alignment through the seating stroke. Whether you're loading match ammunition or precision hunting rounds, this die delivers repeatable seating depth that shows up on paper.

The micrometer thimble is laser-engraved with divisions in thousandths of an inch, reading just like a depth micrometer you'd find in a machine shop. That infinitely adjustable design means you can dial in your exact seating depth and lock it in for shot-after-shot consistency. The machined and burnished seating stem won't mark or damage even delicate bullet tips, and the floating bullet guide eliminates binding—allowing the case mouth and projectile to self-center as they enter the seating chamber. What really sets this Lee die apart is that reversible floating guide: unthread it, flip it, and you can seat and crimp in one stroke, a feature exclusive to Lee's design.

When the die body contacts the shell holder, you're working with a dead-length seating system—the gold standard for precision ammunition assembly. Field tests confirm that the sliding bullet guide produces cartridges with minimal bullet runout, the kind of consistency that separates good loads from great ones. This is serious reloading equipment built for shooters who know that ammunition quality directly translates to downrange performance.
