Lee Bulge Buster Carbide Reloading Kit
Essential reloading accessory that removes bulge rings from handgun brass using a push-through die adapter. Includes extension sleeve, punch, and catch container for use with Lee Factory Crimp Dies.
The Lee Bulge Buster: Professional-Grade Brass Preparation
Serious handgun reloaders know that consistent ammunition begins with properly prepared brass. The Lee Bulge Buster Carbide Kit addresses a common problem that standard reloading dies cannot solve: the bulge that forms at the base of cases fired in semi-automatic pistols.
What's Included
- Extension sleeve for press mounting
- Push-through punch mechanism
- Catch container for processed cases
- Complete operating instructions
How It Works
When rimless pistol cases are fired in semi-automatic firearms, the shell holder in your press constrains the case at a point above the base. This leaves a bulge at the very bottom of the case that standard sizing dies cannot reach. The Bulge Buster uses a carbide sizing ring to remove this bulge, restoring the case to proper dimensions and ensuring reliable feeding and seating.
Compatibility and Operation
The kit works with Lee Factory Crimp Dies and installs in either a single-station press or turret press (with index rod removed). Simply push each case through the die—the carbide sizing ring does the work automatically.
Supported Calibers
.380 ACP, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .41 AE, .45 GAP, .45 ACP, and .45 Win Mag. Note: Not compatible with 9mm Luger.
Why It Matters
Bulge-free cases feed more reliably, seat primers more consistently, and produce ammunition you can trust. For the reloader who demands quality, the Bulge Buster is an essential tool.
