Lee Precision 90530 Carbide Sizing Die 38 Special/357 Magnum

The Lee Precision 90530 Carbide Sizing Die is a dedicated .38 Special / .357 Magnum full-length resizing die built for pistol reloaders who want smooth, lube-free case preparation from a single component. This is a sizing die only - no bullet seating or crimping die is included - making it the right choice for shooters who already own the other tools in their 38/357 reloading setup or simply want to replace the sizing half of an existing die set.

At the heart of this die is a precision carbide sizing ring housed in a contoured steel body. Carbide is far harder and slicker than traditional steel, which means no case lubricant is required. Cases slide through the die with minimal effort and come out sized to proper dimensions from base to shoulder, so they chamber reliably in any 38 Special or 357 Magnum firearm. The full-length geometry resizes the entire case body, bringing fired brass back to spec for consistent ignition, extraction, and accuracy run after run.

Because 38 Special and 357 Magnum share the same case body diameter and differ only in case length, this single die handles both calibers interchangeably, and it also works with 38 Short Colt and 38 Long Colt cases. The die threads onto any standard reloading press and ships in a plastic storage container to keep it clean and protected between reloading sessions.

Made by Lee Precision in the USA, the 90530 is a straightforward, no-nonsense workhorse for pistol reloaders running high volumes of 38 Special target loads or 357 Magnum hunting ammo. It pairs cleanly with Lee's separate bullet seating and factory crimp dies to build out a complete 38/357 reloading system.
