Does the warning to not reload 40s&w for Glock relevant to this 4 die set? I only see the warning posted for the 3 die set.

I have reloaded Glocked brass in the 40 S&W; caliber by using the factory crimp die in this set. You have to remove the collet and push the brass thru the sizing die in the factory crimp die. I made a brass pusher by inserting a ⅜ Dow rod into a 9mm shell. You can purchase a metal pusher from Lee but I like my free home made one. Hope this helps answer your question

The source of that concern is the "glock smiley" that results from the unsupported chamber with high-pressure loads. If your cases are not deformed at the head, and you run them correctly through the size and factory crimp dies, you'll have no trouble. This is what I use to load my for my 10mm Glock 20, and I've fired thousands of reloads through it with no trouble at all.

The 4 die is identical to the 3 die set, but includes an additional die. 4th die is the factory crimp die. I'm not familiar with any problem Using these dies to load ammo for use in a glock. This set and the 3 die set both size to specification. I've never had any trouble in a glock with my reloads.

I have loaded thousands of 45acp and 45acp+p with the same dies, my understanding is that you can load 45super also.

I would imagine there should be a .300 Blackout die set out there somewhere, I don't think a .308 die set would work. But I don't know the specs for the 300, so that's just my guess.

Well, Brad, you'll need dies (any of the major brands are good), but spend the extra $ and get carbide or tungsten dies. Then you won't have pre-lube your cartridge casings....which is messy and slow. For the Hornady Lock n Load, you need shell holders and shell plates - buy those from Hornady. Geez, Brad, after that just get yourself some reasonably clean brass cartridge cases (you'll soon find yourself scrounging em at your local range...!), some primers (I always use magnum primers .. Use can just use regular small pistol primers...but I like a big fat spark !) Then get yourself some powder (you gotta start somewhere...Bullseye is fine.), and pick up your favorite bullets. TWO MOST IMPORTANT tips I can give you are : 1. Buy a major-brand component manufacturer's reloading manual. (You'll end up with several : ) ! Lee has good ones and Hornady gives you a DVD with purchase of Lock n Load press...very well produced! 2. GO REAL SLOW for your first few loading sessions! No distractions and focus on what you're doing. Speed will come later. Loading your own is very safe and you'll get measurably better accuracy. But pay attention, Brad! We don't want to lose a fellow gunner to a reloading mishap! Finally, take some time to hang out at you local reloader's supply store. You'll find lots of folk will be eager to share their favorite loads with you. And the store employees might as well start getting used to you bein around! Keep yer powder dry, Brad. Lemme know if you've got more questions. Best, John All the major die makers will include a powder spoon...which I don't care for ... I want a good quality scale...It's comforting when you're weighing out buffalo loads!

No, First guy is right, you need #32 holder (RCBS). Don't reload steel casings, they will ruin your dies.

Yes, these are reloading dies, you will need one set for each different caliber you load. This set consists of a full length sizing die, a neck sizing die and a bullet seating die. In addition you may need a bullet crimping die, as the seating die does not crimp in this set.

I have loaded 40 S&W; using lees carbide dies on this load master press. I also reload 556/223 and 308/762 cal. On this press. Just start slow at first until you get a feel of the press. It can be done on this press and it is a very good press for the money.this is my third lees press.

Lee makes a 300 H&H mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.

Yes you can reload many/most calibers in the Lee Precision Load Master. All you have to do is purchase the correct die set for the bullet caliber you want to reload and install them in the Load Masters turret. A better way to go is to also buy a Turret with each Die Set caliber you want to reload with and once you have your die's installed in their own turrets and calibrated, all you have to do after that is pop in the set you want to use and you're ready to go. Hope this helps.

Not Normally. Some kits may come with a set but if it does they will be listed by what caliber so you will know what you are getting.Normally the dies are separate because there are so many different calibers you would not want to get them all just the calibers you are going to be reloading.expect to pay anywhere from around $35.00 and up for a set of dies.

Just like any other 3 dot system. If you shoot low or high you would need to get a higher or lower year sight to correct the condition. These sights are high quality and I like them very well. Anything beats the original plastic Glock sight. Hope this helps.

You need to get Lee dies for each caliber. I recommend the Lee 4 die pistol set.

As long as you have the proper dies, it will work for 40 S&W.; I believe it will work for 30-06 as well, but check with the documentation to be sure.

I'm not quite sure myself. All I know is I could never break down my Glock 33, ever.. I would tear my fingers up & get cramps. This worked great & now I can break it down with ease. I now own the three barrels....9mm, .357 sig ( original ), & .40 caliber extended w/port. Hope I was of assurance.

The 3rd die is a combination seating/crimp die. Most die sets (with the exception of Lee 4-die sets) are like this. Once adjusted correctly, it will seat the bullet and crimp the case.

The seating die has a taper crimp built in, and the four die set also has a separate "factory crimp die", which can be used to crimp in place of the seating die. The F/C die is also used with the "Bulge Buster" kit, which is used to reduce any case bulging in the base area of the case, common in .40 caliber cases, even ones not fired in Glock pistols. I am very satisfied with mine. I use die sets from several different makers, and Lee is a good value for the money.

Igor, I have just added unprocessed .40 S&W casings to my Benchmark Reloading Supply listings. $30.00 per 1000 plus $12.99 domestic priority 3 day USPS shipping. Thank you, Buzz Lendzion
