The Lee Short Charging Die is made for use with the Lee Auto-Disk, Pro Auto-Disk and Auto-Drum powder measures to deliver consistent powder charging during reloading. It functions like the pistol powder-through expanding die but does not expand the case mouth; rifle case expansion is performed in the sizing die. The die is intended for a range of case lengths and is compatible with bullet diameters of .223 and larger where powder bridging is a consideration.
