Overview

Built for loading straight-wall pistol cases, this three-die set is designed to handle the main steps of .460 Smith & Wesson case preparation and bullet seating. The carbide sizer die sizes and de-primes without requiring lubrication, while the expander die brings the case to the proper diameter and adds the flare needed for bullet feeding. The seater die finishes the round by seating the bullet and applying a roll crimp. A shell holder is not included, so this set is best suited for reloaders who already have the needed setup in place.

Shell holder is not included, so a compatible shell holder must be sourced separately before use.
This set is specific to .460 Smith & Wesson straight-wall pistol cases, so it is not a general-purpose die set.
The set is configured for the standard sizing, expanding, seating, and roll-crimping steps; additional loading components or tools may still be needed depending on your setup.
