The Lee Precision .459" Diameter Classic Bullet Sizing Kit is a straightforward solution for handloaders who cast their own bullets. If you're working with cast projectiles in the .459" range and want to size them efficiently on your existing single-stage press, this kit handles the job without requiring a separate dedicated machine or expensive tooling. It's designed to work with standard 7-8x14" threaded presses, so it'll fit whatever you already have at the bench.
The sizing process is refreshingly simple: bullets go through nose-first, which means you don't need special nose punches or complicated alignment procedures. As a bullet passes through the sizing die, it gets sized to spec, and if you're using gas checks, they're automatically seated and crimped in place at the same time. That one-step approach saves time when you're processing batches of cast bullets. The kit includes a capture container to catch your finished bullets as they come out, keeping them organized and minimizing drops or mess.
Keep in mind that this kit is built for single-stage presses only—it's not compatible with progressive or turret setups. You'll need to supply your own single-stage press and bullet lubricant (liquid allex is recommended if you're seating gas checks). The kit comes sized at .459" diameter; Lee recommends selecting a sizing die that's .001" larger than your bullet's groove diameter to ensure a proper fit. This is a complete kit for one size, so if you cast multiple calibers, you'd need separate kits for each diameter.
| Bullet Diameter | .459" |
| Press Compatibility | Single-stage presses with 7-8x14" threads |
| Sizing Method | Nose-first push-through |
| Gas Check Capability | Yes; automatically seated and crimped |
| Recommended Die Sizing | .001" larger than groove diameter |
No. The Lee Classic Bullet Sizing Kit is designed exclusively for single-stage presses. It's not compatible with progressive or turret setups.
Yes. The kit is designed to work with single-stage reloading presses that have standard 7-8x14" threads. You'll need to mount it in your existing press. The press itself is sold separately, as is bullet lubricant.
Yes. Gas checks are automatically seated and crimped as the bullet passes through the sizing die. To do this, lubricate your bullets with liquid allex, place a gas check on the base of the bullet, set it on the punch, and push it through the sizing die.
This kit is complete for one size (.459" diameter). If you cast bullets in other calibers, you would need to purchase separate sizing kits for each diameter you want to process.
