Product Description
Bullet Sizing Die Kit WITH LUBE
90171+90177
NEW!
For: .285 Diameter
The Lee Lube and Size Kit is one of the fastest and easiest ways to lubricate and size cast bullets.
The sizing die that comes with the kit fits in any press that accepts standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies.
Bullets are pushed through the sizing die nose first, so no special top punches are needed.
Gas checks are automatically seated and crimped in place.
Sized bullets are captured in the special container which is included and doubles as a storage case for the die.
Notes:
- Comes in red plastic case
- Lee recommends bullets be relubed after sizing to be sure the sized portion is coated.
- All lead bullets must be lubricated, but it is not absolutely necessary to size all cast bullets. Bullets must be sized if they are so large that they expand the case too much to freely enter the gun's chamber. Sizing sometimes helps accuracy by making the bullet uniform in diameter. Sizing helps ensure uniform start pressure and better accuracy. Gas checks can be installed with this tool. Simply place the gas check on the base of the bullet before sizing.
- Lee recommends the use of Alox bullet lube, not included.
Directions for Use:
Lubricating Bullets:
1. Place bullets in provided red plastic container and drop Lee Liquid Alox onto the bullets.
2. Gently shake the bullets in an orbital motion to coat the bullets. If they do not coat completely, add a little more lube.
3. Spread the bullets onto waxed paper and let dry overnight.
4. Load at least one bullet into a case and check to be sure it easily chambers in the gun. If it fits tightly, you must resize the bullet before loading.
Sizing Bullets:
1. Screw the sizing die into any standard reloading press. Exact depth is not important.
2. Install the bullet punch into the ram. This fits all rams that use standard shellholders.
3. Place the red plastic container with the lubed bullets inside on top of the sizing die.
4. Place bullet on the punch and push the bullet through the die.
5. When 3/4 of the bullets have been loaded, lift the red plastic container off the die. Invert the holder before opening.
6. For rifle and hot pistol loads, it is best to relube the bullets to ensure the sized portion is recoated.

Alox Bullet Lube Liquid, 4 OZ
90177
Lee Liquid Alox Bullet Lube coats the entire bullet in a very thin film of lubricant.
This thin film dries to a soft, varnish-like finish that really adheres to the bullet.
Additionally, the dried coating will not affect powder.
Easy to apply and eliminates the need for sizing of most cast bullets.
While it works well with all cast bullets, it works best with the micro band bullets, which are designed for tumble lubing.
Notes:
Alox works best when it is heated before applying.
Heat a coffee cup of water in the microwave for 2 minutes, then drop the bottle of liquid alox in the mug for 5 minutes.
The Alox may be thinned with mineral spirits.
Maximum of 1 part mineral spirits to 10 parts Alox.
