Lee Carbide Speed Die...

[vega]

Does anybody has one? Please explain to me how you could use only one die to make ammo. If you use this to resize then how could you use this to expand / bell the mouth? Or are there other internal set up which you have to attached?

There is one body part, and then the other attachments just are put on and off with adjustment.

Ok, I have to dig this up. What are the attachments? Do you have pics. I checked the website but it just show one die with decapping pin attached.

Die body
Carbide sizing ring (screws into the bottom)
Decapping rod/expander ball
screw in bullet seater (this also retains the decapper during decapping/expansion)

These are good dies for a single stage, useless for anything else. Also, you can't really adjust the amount of belling given to the case mouth without adjusting the whole die assembly, which sorta messes up the whole principle of a "speed" die.

I had 2 sets and am converting back to 3 die sets.

I have these in 2 calibers and with these and a lee had press I have a very compact and complete reloading set that I can carry in a small bag(without the hammer needed for the "original lee loader")
