The Lyman 3-Die Rifle Sets For Straight Wall Cases in .45-70 Cal are built for handloaders who want a complete, purpose-built solution for reloading one of America's most iconic big-bore rifle cartridges. This three-die set handles the full cycle of the handloading process—from resizing fired brass to seating new bullets—with dies engineered specifically for straight-wall cases like the .45-70. Whether you're working up loads for a Sharps, modern lever action, or single-shot rifle, this set gives you the tools to produce consistent, reliable ammunition at the bench.
The set includes a full-length resizing die with an integrated decapping stem that removes spent primers and restores fired cases to factory dimensions. The two-step neck expanding die is the standout feature here—it's designed to gently open the case mouth in stages, making it especially forgiving when you're working with cast bullets, which demand careful neck expansion to avoid deformation or separation. Once your bullets are ready to seat, the dedicated bullet seating die completes the trio, allowing precise bullet seating depth control.
Lyman has been the benchmark in reloading dies for generations, and this straight-wall set carries that reputation. The dies are threaded to fit standard 7/8-inch-14 presses, work smoothly with typical reloading benches, and are built to last through hundreds of handloading sessions. If you're serious about .45-70 ammunition and especially if you prefer cast bullets for hunting or range work, this is the no-nonsense die set that does the job right.
