Specialized charging die for Lee Auto-Disk and Auto-Drum powder measures. Compatible with rifle cases .860 to 1.760 inches long, .223 bullet diameter and larger. Works without case mouth expansion.
The Lee Short Charging Die is a precision component designed specifically for use with Lee's Auto-Disk, Pro Auto-Disk, and Auto-Drum powder measures. This die streamlines the ammunition reloading process by delivering consistent powder charges directly into prepared rifle cases.
Unlike pistol powder dies that expand case mouths, the Lee Short Charging Die delivers powder without expanding. This approach works because rifle case expansion is properly handled during the sizing die operation. The die simply meters and deposits the precise powder charge into your prepared cases.
For longer rifle cases measuring 1.760 to 2.620 inches, you'll need the Lee Long Charging Die instead. Selecting the correct die ensures optimal powder delivery and consistent reloading results.
This is an essential component for reloaders using Lee's automated powder measure systems who want reliable, repeatable ammunition production.
