Lee Precision 92221 Micrometer Bullet Seating Die /Clear 308 Win Rifle Fire
$29.00
The Lee Precision 92221 Micrometer Bullet Seating Die brings precision reloading to .308 Winchester within reach of handloaders who refuse to compromise on accuracy. This rifle die combines a floating bullet guide with an easy-to-read micrometer thimble, letting you dial in consistent seating depth to one-thousandth of an inch—the kind of control that pays dividends downrange, especially when you're chasing tight groups or building ammo for a precision rifle.
What sets this die apart is its dead-length seating system: the die body contacts the shell holder directly, which means your seating depth stays uniform from round to round without fussy adjustment between cartridges. The floating bullet guide handles the heavy lifting, holding the case and bullet in perfect alignment while allowing radial clearance so everything seats straight and true. The bullet seating stem itself is machined and burnished to handle any point style without marring the bullet—critical when you're working with quality projectiles you've invested in.
The micrometer adjustment is laser-engraved and reads just like a precision depth tool, so dialing your desired seating depth is intuitive. If you want to crimp while seating, the floating guide is reversible—simply unthread it and reinstall for simultaneous seating and crimping, a feature that streamlines your reloading bench. This die proves that reliable precision doesn't demand a premium price tag, making it a smart choice for serious .308 handloaders who shoot often and demand consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this die compatible with all .308 Winchester presses?
This die is a standard rifle seating die that works with any compatible .308 Winchester reloading press. Check your press manual to confirm die compatibility.
What's the difference between dead-length seating and standard seating?
Dead-length seating means the die body contacts the shell holder, giving you a fixed reference point for consistent seating depth. This eliminates variables that can come from different case lengths and ensures uniformity across all your rounds.
Can I use this die for both seating and crimping?
Yes. The floating bullet guide is reversible—unthread it and reinstall it to allow simultaneous seating and crimping in one stroke, saving a step in your reloading process.
Does the micrometer scale measure in both inches and millimeters?
The micrometer thimble is laser-engraved with divisions representing one-thousandth of an inch. Refer to the product documentation or manual for any additional scale information.
