Not bad at all

The shipper did a great job, I ordered it on a Thursday, he shipped it the next day Friday, I received it Monday. Bang up job. I suppose he should as I paid $99 for a $45 dollar item. But the factory is out of these dies, the stores don't have any, so kudos to the shipper. That's the dilemma in a shortage.

For someone looking at 9mm (or any auto) dies, Lee was not able to get past the technical hurdle of case mouth flare for jacketed (.355) and cast (.356). The expander die has good flare for the smaller .355 bullet, but not really enough for the larger .356. But, you can make it work.

Am I glad to have 9mm dies during the middle of The Great Ammo Shortage? Yeah. Would I have liked the 4 die set at about half the price during normal times? Yeah. Read full review...

Great dies

Came back to reloading after a 20 year break. Bought RCBS, Lee and Lyman dies to try on the 3 calibers I'll be doing. This set was least expensive, has the shell holder as part of the deal, gives you a paper enclosure with a bunch of reloading data and is machined as nicely as the rest. highly recommendedRead full review...

Price was good for a brand new set of 9mm carbide dies.

Haven't actually tried this set yet. BUT, if it's anything like my past LEE die sets......it should be fine. BTW, I have sets from both RCBS and LEE. For me, it's all GOOD (Red or Green).

Good Dies, But Could Be More Complete

This is a great die set for the Loadmaster, but even Lee recommends removing the decapping pin from the resizing die and putting it in the number two position and then using a Universal Decapping die in the number one position. I wish they'd just sell it all together that way. Of course it works as sold, but using the sizing die in the number two position properly aligns the priming station perfectly to ensure a safer, more accurate primer install each cycle. Nonetheless, this is a great die set that has all you really must have to reload your 9mm (except the press and expendables of course). It's top notch stuff and once properly adjusted to your load and setup, it will produce an endless supply of quality ammo.

I do recommend buying the Universal Decapping Die to go along with these dies unless you do your decapping and priming on another machine.Read full review...

Love lee

I started hand loading in 1988 and when my son showed interest this year in it I started buying components for a beginner a simple single stage lee press that I told him to keep even if he upgraded to a progressive press and I bought him the Lee carbide 9mm die set and explain that if it was kept clean and and lubed it would last him a life time it is very suitable for combat shooting witch in my book is a 6” group I own about 20 sets of dies from four different MFG . My Lee is 45acp and it puts out mail driving ammunition
Consistency and process will always produce excellent results Read full review...

I will only use lee dies

I made the mistake of buying rcbs and a couple of Pacific durachrome dies. The durachrome dies are nice but they flare as they decap and i did not know that when i decapped 100 45 shells. They are ALL flared too much. Rcbs bulged every case we did to number of 6 cases.
Lee on the other hand has consistently delivered proper resizing, proper flaring on its own die, and proper length.
You would be Crazy to pay more to get less.. most sets give you 2 dies, lee at least gives you 3 dies unless you get the lee RGB set.
Spend the money, you wont be disappointedRead full review...

The Lee name sums it up, it works perfectly as described.

Considering the current Covid climate, where product availability across the board on everything is about nonexistent, I was happy to find this amazing die set, even though I probably overpaid by about $60. Sign of the times. Product is of excellent quality and will surely last. Would purchase again Read full review...

9mm Lee Die Set

Received new die set quickly. Die set arrived missing the bullet seating plug but a quick call to Lee resulted in my receiving a plug in three days at no charge. Have used dies to process and load 300 empty brass with no problems once plug received. Like that seating die has a slight crimp. Newly designed storage box is a bit difficult to open for aged hands, but extremely secure when closed. Good quality for the money and does what it says. Would recommend.Read full review...

Lee Carbide 3 die set for reloading 9mm.

Great product, works very well. I did not get the factory crimp die, but the bullets work just fine without it. I reloaded 200 9mm, and they worked as well as the factory loads.
Once you get the dies set properly you can unscrew them and easily go back to your settings, because the dies do not change easily while unscrewing. This makes it easy to change a single stage press to another shell.Read full review...

Lee Loader

This is really a nice product. Fit and finish is great, price is right and after sizing several cases I found it quite serviceable. The carbide die requires minimal lube but clean cases are a must. Looking forward to years of service. Quality and price puts reloading within everyone's reach.Read full review...
