.458 SOCOM dies

[nyc71]

I'm going to start reloading this caliber next week, are the Lee dies any good for this caliber?
Thank you

Curious to know the answer as well... There is no load data listed in any of my books. Good luck.

Get the Redding dies.

I thought this was going to be about the death of the 458 SOCOM.

Glad to hear it's not.

Lee makes good dies. I see no reason to think that this particular cartridge should be any different than any other that they offer.

 

[jmorris]

I use the LEE dies.

Did the Lee dies come with load data like they do in every other set or Lee dies i've bought?
Just curious.

It's been a while but I don't think they came with data.

not sure if it's different caliber by caliber, but my recent .223 lee dies came with a load chart and die setup instructions.

There will be no load data supplied with the LEE dies (or any other manufacturer) for the 458 SOCOM.

The SOCOM has not been SAAMI spec'd or tested.

If you want load data go here:

Or PM me your email address and I will send you PDF's for dozens of loads.

Can't beat Lee's price too. $23 at FS Reloading.

Do you use them for this particular caliber?

Yes. They were the only 458sc dies available when I needed them.
