Lee Short Charging Die For Auto-disk Powder Measure

The Lee Precision Short Charging Die for Auto-Disk Powder Measure is a specialized reloading die designed to work seamlessly with Lee's Auto-Disk Pro, Auto-Disk, and Auto-Drum powder measures. If you're setting up a rifle reloading press and want a reliable, straightforward way to charge cases with consistent powder drops, this die fills that role—handling the intermediate step between powder measurement and case preparation without unnecessary complexity.

This short charging die is built for rifle cases that fall in the .860 to 1.760 inch length range, with bullet diameters of .223 and larger. The design avoids powder bridging issues by working in concert with your sizing die, which handles case mouth expansion separately. If your rifle rounds are longer than 1.760 inches, you'll want Lee's long charging die instead; this one is optimized for the shorter cases many reloaders encounter—.308 Winchester, .223 Remington, and similar cartridges fit comfortably in its range.

Lee's approach to die design prioritizes getting the job done without unnecessary steps or cost. The short charging die integrates with the Auto-Disk family of measures, letting you focus on consistent powder measurement and case preparation without worrying about expanding case mouths in this stage. It's a straightforward, proven component for reloaders who want dependable ammunition without paying for features they don't need.
