I’m looking for some reloading dies. Which you know is very hard to come by right now.
I found a set of Lee 10mm dies today but wasn’t sure if they would work on the 40 S&W

This set of dies Lee Manufacturer #: 90799 says it will load BOTH 40 S&W and 10 mm auto


But this set is what I found , it on has 10mm on the box Lee Manufacturer #: 90566 will these load both 40 S&W and 10 mm auto, or is it ONLY 10 mm.
Thanks much for your help

will load both but you need a crimp die for the 40 most sets have an ajustable Its a 4 die set.

Hey Shotman
I got the dies and for the most part they work just fine. Except for the powder thru die. It also flairs the case mouth and the 40 S&W doesn’t go deep enough in the 10mm die to flair the mouth properly. Problem solved with a small lock washer installed inside of the die. Had to shim the case mouth plunger around 20 thousands and now works like a charm. Other than that and ordering a factory crimp die it works great.
