Custom rifle dies start as specially selected steel that is inspected by hand both before and after delivery. The steel is then heat treated to ensure the durability needed to provide a charging life. Then the inner surface of each die is carefully hand polished to a mirror finish. The result is a die so smooth, guaranteed never to scratch a case. Before assembly, each part of each mold is inspected by hand and a protective coating is applied to prevent moisture damage during shipping. The result is the most advanced refill die set available today. Elliptical expander significantly reduces friction and elongation of the case neck associated with other expanders. It slips on so it cannot loosen and eliminates the need for a separate expansion nut for "necking-up " to the next larger caliber. The in-line sliding seat system ensures the alignment of the in-line bench of each seated projectile. The sliding sleeve vertically prealigns the bullet with the neck of the case as they enter the mold body. When the cartridge is lifted, the bullet comes into contact with the floating steel stem and is kept in perfect alignment while sitting. Each custom sized die set comes in a convenient box that allows you to store fully adjusted molds, lock-n-load bushings, clamshell holders and a conical crimp die. Key flats located on the mold body facilitate adjustments and eliminate damage caused by adjusting the molds with pliers. The spindle block design aligns the expansion spindle to center perfectly in the matrix. Provides tight tolerances and precise fit. Expansion spindle improves alignment and improves accuracy for smoother operation. A solid one-piece rod guaranteed not to bend or break. The hardened steel decap pin will not break, bend or crack, even when depressing cases with crimped primer pockets.
