Lee Universal Neck Expanding Die Review
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.2 года назад
Lately, I have experienced some very tight 9mm cartridge case mouths when trying to seat the bullet during reloading. Even after using the de-prime / resizing die I struggled to balance the bullet on the cartridge during the seating process. I then found the Lee Universal Neck Expanding Die and decided to try it out. My initial reaction is that I have had great results and will be adding to my ...
9 MM Reloading - Dialing in the Perfect Load
Просмотров 352 года назад
In this video, I am testing the velocity of my 9mm reloads starting with 4.5 GR and leading up to 4.8 GR. Using my ProChrono DLX chronograph, I am using the velocity data to dial in, what I believe, is the perfect load for me. Also, I wanted to see what the difference .1 GR makes to the velocity. As you will see in the results, the 4.7 GR was not what I expected; therefore, I will reload a new ...

Range time waits for no one, but are you ready? Do you have a plan in place to always make sure you have enough ammo to not only maintain firearm competency but also to facilitate a sporadic range day? Things to ponder around the reloading station.

What I don't understand about this is if you have a lee 4 die set for any caliber pistol, what was the point in the buying the universal expanding die if the pistol die set comes with an expanding die? I understand for rifle as most are only 2 or 3 die sets but pistols it doesn't make sense to me.
Which Mitch Rosen is it? trying to figure out which one? If you were carrying open, what would your choice be?
@rbljackson, hello! I remember when I first bought the SR9C, I didn't know what holster to buy and found Ruger was offering the Mitch Rosen on their site. It is a great leather outside the waistband holster. I think it is this one: shopruger.com/SR9c-SR40c-Mitch-Rosen-Belt-Holster-RH/productinfo/50166/. For the SR9C this is still one of my favorite holsters and the primary carry for this gun. I have also bought a OWB Galco for my SA EMP 9mm, and several IWB from cross breed. Hope this helps! take care.
Got mine 2019 for 499.00. And love it

It seems you had 4.6 and 4.7 mixed up. Just looks that way.
The TX22 Taurus is the BEST fire arm, is Very whel, in a 22 LR caliber 👍🏼👏🤠🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Not sure what your issue was. I have a G30S, I aim to get 1200fps from a 250gr.
When I chrono, I find that the chrono shows 200-300fps more than reality. Removing the shades fixed the issue. I don't understand why. I used the same chrono before and did not have this issue. I was at the same location as always. So far I have to always remove the shades with the new chrono.
Holster not covering the manual safety is a problem. Gorgeous gun though, I think I have to get one.
Allmost sounds like your scales are off just a tad. I had that problem once. Got a better scale an saw that my charge weights where 1 grain more than what I thought they where.
Mike, I've another question; is it normal or unusual that when the 9mm case is rammed up for the resizing step, for the case to come down with sorta an abrasive or scratchy micro lines on it, and not look like it did when it went up at first? I did remove the decap pin from die and wiped it with alcohol rag, also ran a small piece with alcohol thu die body. Looking thru it, it looked shiny smooth, didn't see any scratches. I did 20 cases, light lube and they all had those marks. When I did my 30-06 and 30-30 cases I never experienced this. And this whole rock chucker press equipment I bought from an army buddy who bought it new when we bought our rifle's back in 89. The dies were new too. Now, 34 yrs later, I have purchased my 9mm p320 and I aldo want to reload this round, I bought this two-die set from another person on ebay. I'm wondering if there's a solution, or should I just return it?
That is very interesting. From my personal experience it should look just like it did before it was resized. I do remember a while back I had a die acting up with a light line and trying to clean it did not fix the problem for me. While I didn't exhaust all cleaning options, to save time and headache, I ended up just buying a new die set and never had the problem again. This was just my experience and I wish you good luck, and great choice with the P320 btw. Take care!
@@man_1911 Thank you for your input. I did contact RCBS yesterday about this. Just a few minutes ago I received an email saying they have created an order for me, covered under the warranty,, wow. I'm left wondering if its just the die in question or a whole new set. I'm impressed. I hope, I hope..lol.
My mistake, that email was for a replacement small primer cup, spring. pin. But I called today, and they said I can send it in to them, bcuz it would be inspected, polished and if that doesn't fix, they'll send replacement..
@@MusicMinisterJP7 outstanding, that sound great!
Nice demonstration. I am considering to buy a Lee 9mm case expander die for use on my RCBS Rock chucker, but I got stuck with whether a Powder thru die and Now I see a Universal expander die. Pretty much after the other processes on the single stage press, this seems pretty straight forward. Thx.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
It needs a tool?
Hi Anamnesis010, Correct, it comes with a small angled piece of metal, like a small allen wrench, to hold the spring in place.
@@man_1911 Bothersome. Thank you for replying.
you don’t exactly need it though. there’s a faster tooless way to take it down but it requires a bit more skill. you simply align the slide stop notch yourself while fighting the spring tension in the guide rod, then pull it out. vise versa to assemble
Good vid! Bullet seat depth, crimp, powder, primers can all affect speed. Also if you get a powder that is sensitive to weather and other environment conditions, that will affect it as well
Thank you, and you are absolutely right! Even within the manufactures specifications for each of those pieces there are tolerances that are acceptable. And then add in weather and external factors and we can only hope to get in a ballpark of consistency. However, it is fun to try and dial in what we can for a nice overall comfortable load. Thanks for watching, and happy reloading!
Had to use this on 22 Hornet worked perfectly. Thanks.
I have the same chair and it's in the same condition 😂
I enjoyed this competent, calm, and mature firearm review video.
Thank you for watching, I appreciate the feedback!
The problem I have is getting the bullet to sit absolutely straight up and down. On some of my revolvers a less-than-perfectly straight bullet won't chamber.
Interesting, Is that for wad cutters or round nose too.
@@man_1911 Rounded flat nose hollow points.
@@robertbrandywine that is interesting. I have never seen that before. Once mine get into the seating die everything seems to straighten out even if they start off a little wonky. Unless there is debris in the seating die causing the slight imperfection, I would be scratching my head also.
@@man_1911 I've ordered a Lyman M-Die, which is supposed to continue the increased ID (not the flare) down into the case for half the bullet length. We'll see.
@@man_1911 The Lyman M-die arrived and it fixed the problem. The ID of the cases before the M-Die was .349 inch and after .354 inch. That .349 could be due to a too-small die, or too thick case walls, but the M-die overrides any such errors.
Gimme ya fuckin money 🔫🤣
hahahaha
I have the same ear muffs as you! I wore them for years in the engine room and still use them at the range. I bought a Ruger SR22 last month. I can't wait to shoot it when the weather warms up. I have owned a Ruger LC9s for the past 3 years and I love it. I figure I can get more range time in shooting cheaper .22 ammo. Great review! - Dave
Awesome Dave, the ear muffs are great! The LC9 is a great gun, I have the predecessor sr9c and love it. You are spot on with more range time, and I hope you enjoy the SR22 as much as I do, and I really appreciate the feedback. Take care, Mike
Great overall review of this rifle. How's the accuracy pass 100yrd ? How's it holding up? Any issues or regrets? Staysafe and healthy. Peace
Thank you! Unfortunately, I am in the process of building a new range that will reach out to and past 100 yards. So, at this time, I can't provide any insight there; however, as far as holding up, still rock soild and dependable with no regrets! Take care!
Primers are much more expensive these days
Crazy how the same $32 box of 1000 now go for $89 - $99.
Lee always has made great tools at a fair price.all I run is lee unless its something they dont make then I go hornady 👌🇺🇸
That is awesome and I 100% agree. Thanks for watching and take care!
Great review !! I just bought one with a silver slide , this is perfect fit and light weight. I can't wait to shot it. Thanks for the review I learn about this pistol
Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoy shooting it as much as I do!
I have the 3 & 4 inch, 9mm. As with all the Springers I buy first thing is replace extractor and firing pin stop with Wilson.
Bought a reloading setup off an old gentleman for 800$. Sold everything I did not need for 1300$ and still have enough of everything left to load 5000 .223 and 7000 .308 . So I am already way up and still have 1000s of savings waiting.
My 2022 estimate is based on reloading 380, 9mm and 223 ammo, cast iron single stage press, dies for each caliber, decapping die, powder measure, wet tumbler, primer pocket swager, bulge buster kit, lube tray, steel pins, lock rings, manual, trimmers, deburrer, ammo trays, caliper, calibration blocks, scale and calibration weights, additional lighting, storage containers and a bench. My equipment cost in 2020 was $950. In 2022, probably $1,100 My average 380 rounds material cost was18 cents. I made about 500 rounds My average 9mm rounds material cost was 19 cents I made about 2,200 rounds My average 223 rounds material cost was 28 cents. I made about 1,000 rounds Because I have a stockpile of primers, powder and bullets if you were to start in 2022; my estimated material costs are the 380's would go for 25 cents, the 9mm 27 cents and the 223 would go for 37 cents. The time spent scavenging brass, cleaning brass and reloading was about seventy to ninety hours. Then there is the time spent looking for primers, powder and bullets. At one point I was spending an hour a week just looking on the internet for primers. As of October 2022, my equipment and material cost have reached a break even point compared to the prices at the time I reloaded. As long as my time is free. Special note, as ammo prices went up and ammo got scare, so did the cost of primers, powder and bullets. Primers were non existent for 10 months. I have 4 stores I can buy primers and powder at, and most of the time they are out. I now have eight hundred dollars invested in powder, primers and bullets in storage. It is a couple years worth of shooting supplies. When any of them reach a certain point I start looking again. Reloading is not for everyone. The time involved is more than some can invest. The initial costs for equipment and supplies, same, it can be like paying a month's rent. Also, if you are easily distracted, don't like to follow or read instructions, don't like safety glasses, cut corners because you think you might get away with it, don't have time or space, reloading may not be for you. Reloading can be safe or it can be dangerous. It is your choice. A solid bench is a requirement, there's a lot of torque on the press at times. When my wife saw the lighting I was using she commented that I could tan while making ammo. Lighting and the bench must be figured into the equation. The space in the house for equipment, cleaning, reloading and supplies is significant. But I deeply enjoy reloading, it is a quiet solitary pursuit. It is details to take care of. It is equipment to clean, lube and maintain. My wife is on board with the investment and the time spent. But not all wives are like that. If you and your family can handle the investment of time, space and money, go for it. But consider all things first.
Thank you for sharing all this information. I'm new to this and found your video very helpful. If you do any other calibers/cartridge variants please share them too.
Hi Christian, Thank you for watching, I really appreciate the feedback. Great to hear you started reloading! The reloading community is extreamly helpfull. At this time, I reload 9mm, 45, 38, 223. I recently did a video on both 9mm and 45 to try and find the perfect velocity for each. Feel free to check them out. Take care.
Lyman (M) dies work much better. NOE makes inserts for the LEE die that makes it work like an (M) die too. I bought probably 30 or more inserts from them because Lyman no longer sells just the plugs. It's a 2 step die if you're not familiar. Been using them for decades and they work perfectly. They allow the bullet to sit perfectly straight in the case mouth and therefore they also seat perfectly straight into the case. I have a couple of the Lyman universal expander dies as well and they work very well and the same as the (M) and also allow you to use any standard thread powder measure on the press.
Hi Hercules, great information. I did a quick lookup, and looking at the overall design, I can see why they would be a great option. You get a caliber diameter specific die to expand the case neck and the case mouth. Nice. Thanks for watching and sharing!
@@man_1911 Yeah the second step in the expansion is what makes them so great because it allows the bullet to sit perfectly straight in the case and that's especially important with bottle necked cases or lead bullets in any case. Those dies really added to Lyman's fame way back then. All the other manufacturers have copied it nowadays just like all modern reloading dies work in the same stepped procedures as Lee dies whether they copied them internally or not. Just goes to show that if you come up with something great that works it will become the norm.
A question: what does the (M) mean, that you mentioned regardingLee expander die? I ask because I am using an rcbs rock chucker and rcbs dies are just too expensive to keep buying. Now I seem to need a neck expander die and buying a Lee expander die seems more practical. However, I'm stuck with figuring which way to go,, Universal die or Powder thru expander die? And do I need to add some sort of stopper for the sliding flaring inner part?
@@MusicMinisterJP7 If you don't have a LEE drum or auto-disk powder measure don't buy the powder through die because it doesn't work any better than any other standard expander. If you want (M) die function that you can change calibers on and that is affordable buy the LEE universal expander die and order caliber specific plugs from NOE for it in the sizes of your choice among calibers as well. What an (M) die does is first it expands the case the length of the bullet, the second step opens up the end of the case (perfectly round) to just slightly over bullet diameter so that when you place the bullet on the case it sits in it perfectly straight. The third step is optional and it adds a bit of flare in case you are using oversized bullets. The LEE universal expander alone is only a flaring die and not useful IMO, but adding cheap NOE inserts makes it into an caliber interchangeable Lyman (M) die and it works just as well...actually better because Lyman no longer offers custom sized plugs. OH BTW if you are using the RCBS uniflow or any other 7/8x14 tpi powder measure you can buy the Lyman universal powder through die. It's less than 50 bucks and will replace several dies. It comes with caliber specific (M) type powder through inserts for 32 through 45 calibers. They work exactly like the (M) except you can charge powder through them. They only offer a few accessory inserts (if they still do) but it does come with 32, 38a, 38p, 9mm, 40, 41, 44, 45 caliber inserts...I think thats all they come with, but it's a fantastic value for what it's capable of. You will not however be able to purchase oversized custom inserts for it should you ever need them. That's where the LEE universal and NOE inserts really shine.
@@hercules1073 Hey thank you for that concise description. I would rather Not buy a powder thru die, I just wasn't sure if what was available. Now you have educated me. My basic setup is an RCBS Rock chucker, and all I mostly reloaded was my 30-06 and 30-30, rifle rounds. Some months ago I purchased dies for my 7.62x39 and 22-250 cal. Now, I have purchased my sought-after pistol, Sig Sauer P320 9mm full and That is the only round I will reload in pistol. So now, can you give me a specific on the Lee expander die I should get, or thereof? Thanks again.
Well it's 2022, I stockpile reloading components and reloaded ammo.
Really well done video brother. Have a good one. Echo
Thank you Echo! I appreciate you watching brother.
Great video! Super informative and your setup is looking awesome! Keep it up 😉
Thank you! 😃
My press came preinstalled with one bushing. Do you know if this can be removed and how? I'd like to buy two additional bushings and have one of them screwed onto each die rather than on the press itself... Thanks.
Hi, you should just be able to hold down the button on top next to the threads and give it a 1/4 turn. I completely agree and for my Lee press I bought a 2 pack from midwayusa - www.midwayusa.com/product/1012849384?pid=971565. Now each of my dies are all setup in a separate bushing. Makes it really fast and easy. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting! Strange that they lost velocity like that 🤔 I'd definitely like to see you remake that round and try again!
I completely agree, that was weird. I am thinking a part 2, with a larger sample.
@@man_1911 for sure! Good call!
Going back to a recent video this shows you just need more range time Tex! 😘
Looks spiffy my guy

I reload 300 win mag on mine and I think it's fine..
EVERYTHING IS HIS OPINIONS BASED ON HIS LIMITED INCOME.
Both observations are correct. Thanks for watching!
I'm picking up one tomorrow for the wife's carry gun
Awesome!
I love mine. The primer system I have is on the press. It is fast and easy on the hands. I use a Harley decamping tool. I never get any dirt or carbon near my press or dies. Being aluminum and having a steel ram isn’t going to hold up long term if you don’t. I also purchased a adapter for the quick trim die cutter. I now use a power screw driver on it.
Hey Mike. Wow. Rural King sale this week. Reg $899 this week $629. Gotta get it for sure
Is the slide stop on the right hand side?
Hi Joe, it has the standard 1911 slide stop on the left hand side.
I've been really wanting a nice 22lr pistol so I can enjoy shooting on a more regular basis and I've had my eye on the Ruger SR 22, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Is yours still performing well?
Hi, mine still works amazing and is my favorite 22 to shoot. If you do consider one, just a note there was a recent recall on a few serial numbers details here. ruger.com/dataProcess/sr22retrofit/?r=announcements
@@man_1911 thank you, sir, I appreciate the information! I plan to order one tomorrow.
probably the best review and showcase of how to attach the conversion. Only 1 complaint is at 4:15 I see you point to the release levers that are on each side but I dont see you pull them down, press them, or touch them for that matter. More clarity there and it would've been a perfect review
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback, and great point, I should have shown on the camera side the pull down of the release. Thanks for watching!
@@man_1911 gotcha. So you only have to pull one or the other release then?
@@man_1911 also put the 32 round mag in the front and a drum where the party starts 😎
@@drealboy_ yes sir, I only need to pull down one side.
You know, I like you video a lot actually. One of the best out there. So much important info. Thank you, I I truly appreciate it. Subscribing.
Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback!
Thank you this was helpful. I just bought mine today!
Awesome, and thank you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine. It is still rock solid and reliable after several thousand rounds.
I wish I could find primers. Weird how in a few years we can't fine either.
I was lucky recently and found a local shop to have several boxes of 1000, limit one per customer. So I bought a box and then had my wife buy one also. Sad part is I paid $80, on the same box/amount I paid $35 a many years back. I used to be the one that was happy having a couple thousand in my stock, but after seeing over the past years the limits...I think I might up that to a lot more...
Would you please tell me if your breech lock bushing can stay in the press tightly? I am asking this because mine doesn't stay tight. Seem like mine has a bit of "play" in both horizontally and vertically. The instruction of the Lee press says this: "After dies are set, they can be installed so the lock groove does not line up with the lock button, allowing you to install and remove die without depressing the lock button." When I tried this, I could eliminate the play in vertical movement, but this could not eliminate the play in horizontal movement. I am wondering if this is normal to have a bit of play or not. And if yours also has a bit of play, does this affect the accuracy of the reloaded rounds?
Sorry for the late response, I was traveling for work. Interesting, I purchased the Lee Breech Lock Quick Change Bushings Package of 2, and they fit really snug in my single stage press.
@@man_1911 Thanks for sharing your experience. Based on what you said, I can see there are good news and bad news. The good news is Lee Challenger Breech Lock single stage press can work. The bad news is that seem like my Lee Challenger Breech Lock single stage press is defective. Unfortunately, I bought it 6 years ago. I don't think I can return it. I will see if further tightening up the breech lock bushing can fix the problem (I doubt this). If not, I will have to get a new one and try again, and retire the old one for other use. Thanks again.
@@captainjayc9217 sorry, I can't provide much help, just haven't seen that kind of issue before and never want to lead folks astray. I think you are on the right track to look at a newer model, since that play may affect the overall accuacy...I would think not by much and for plinking rounds may not be an issue; however, I do wish you the best of luck!
