32-20 dies

[Chief]

I find that 32 WCF dies are available for sale at normal prices on some of the sites where I purchase reloading gear. I also notice that there are many options from the Lee set at about 40 bucks to some of the more expensive sets up to about 100 bucks. For me to load 32-20 for an ancient Winchester 92 is there any reason not to just get the Lee set of dies?

for cast , you may well want an "m" type expander or something that will give a little flare for seating cast. A two die set is not likely to have that, regardless of who made it or how much it cost.

Lee dies work fine for 32/20 have a set; the biggest thing about that round is to be Light Handed on the Press Handle. You can damage the mouth of case quickly if your not paying attention.

No.

They work just fine. Like dannyd said go light on the press handle. A m die is handy for seating cast but a 20 degree chamfering reamer works too.

Find the size you need and order. They work good. Also a Lee Factory crimp die. If nothing else you can take the flare out of the case mouth. Both products work good in my 92 Winchester, contender barrel, and a Uberti 1873 pistol.

Neat cartridge.
