Steel Die Construction for Heavy-Duty Reloading

The Lee 45-70 Government Die Set uses hardened steel rather than carbide, which is standard for large rifle calibres. As a result, case lubrication is required during resizing to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage to cases.

In addition, the steel construction offers excellent durability and long service life.

The Lee 45-70 Government Die Set is designed to handle a wide range of loads, from traditional black powder rounds to modern hunting ammunition. It ensures consistent neck tension and proper bullet seating depth.

This is critical for maintaining accuracy and safe pressure levels in this powerful cartridge.

Brief History of Lee Reloading Equipment

The Lee reloading business began in the home workshop of Richard Lee in 1958 with the invention of the famous Lee Loader for shotgun shells. Lee Loaders, for rifle and pistol ammunition, were invented in the early sixties. These highly effective and economical tools introduced over one and a half million shooters to reloading. The seventies saw the first lathe turned aluminum bullet molds along with melters and sizers. These make casting bullets easy and more precise than ever before possible. The molds are so precise that most Lee bullets do not require sizing. Toward the mid decade, the enormously popular Lee Load-All for shotgun shells was invented. The huge following of Lee Loader users enthusiastically upgraded to new Lee presses and dies when they were introduced in the eighties. Many owners of other brands of dies and presses were easily won over because of the innovative features offered only by Lee. During this period, tens of thousands' of reloaders enjoyed the speed and fun of reloading with the Lee Turret Press and the most popular of all progressive presses the Lee Pro 1000. Initially, every Lee product is distinctly different from products offered by other companies. Soon however, other companies imitate our inventions and offer products almost as good, but at higher prices. Dies, presses, crimpers, powder measures, priming tools, scales, bullet molds, melters, bullet sizers, lubricants, turrets, trimmers and many accessories are all inventions introduced by Lee and copied by others.

Every Lee product must always pass the Lee three question tests:

Does it fill a real need or is it better than any other product available?
Can it be produced at an affordable price?
Would I buy one?

A yes to all three is required before we introduce a product.

The most outstanding and daring features of Lee products are these unusual guarantees
