The Lee Short Charging Die (LEE90668) is a precision reloading component designed for use with Lee Precision's Auto-Disk Pro, Auto-Disk, and Auto-Drum powder measures. This die is engineered for intermediate rifle and pistol cartridge lengths—specifically cases measuring .860 to 1.760 inches—making it the go-to choice for reloading common centerfire rounds like .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and similar calibers with bullet diameters of .223 inches and larger. Unlike a full expanding die, the short charging die meters powder without expanding the case mouth, allowing the sizing die to handle case expansion during the rifle reloading sequence.
The die's design addresses a common reloading challenge: powder bridging in smaller case necks. By working in tandem with Lee's automated powder measures, it ensures consistent charge weights across your reloading session without requiring manual expansion of the case mouth. The .23-pound die is compact and durable, measuring 1.7 x 1.55 x 4.7 inches, making it easy to integrate into any reloading press setup. For longer rifle cases (1.760 to 2.620 inches), such as .30-06 Springfield or .300 Winchester Magnum, users should select Lee's Long Charging Die instead.
This component is essential for serious handloaders who prioritize consistency and efficiency in their ammunition production. Whether you're a precision rifle shooter, competitive pistol reloader, or high-volume manufacturer, the Lee Short Charging Die streamlines the powder-charging phase of the reloading cycle. Compatibility with Lee's proven automated powder-measure ecosystem makes this die a reliable workhorse for cartridges in the intermediate case-length range, delivering repeatable results shot after shot.
Lee Precision reloading dies are recognized throughout the industry for precision engineering and dependable performance. The short charging die fits seamlessly into both progressive and single-stage press operations, making it accessible to hobbyists and high-volume reloaders alike. When paired with the Auto-Disk Pro measure, this die enables production-level consistency without sacrificing accuracy.
