Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Rifle Set .22 Hornet

The Lee Pacesetter 3-Die Rifle Set .22 Hornet delivers a complete reloading solution for precision handloaders working with this specialized cartridge. This three-die set includes everything required to establish a consistent reloading routine: a full-length sizing die, an easy-adjust bullet seater, and a factory crimp die—each machine-honed to ensure smooth operation and repeatable results. The .22 Hornet, a low-recoil rimfire-based rifle cartridge favored for varmint control and small-game hunting, demands precision and consistency that this dedicated die set provides.

Each die in the Pacesetter set performs a critical function in the reloading cycle. The full-length sizing die restores fired cases to factory specifications, ensuring proper fit in the chamber and reliable extraction. The dead-length bullet seater allows fine adjustment for seating depth, critical for achieving the precise overall length that impacts velocity and pressure curves in smaller cartridges like the .22 Hornet. The factory crimp die applies a uniform crimp to the case mouth and bullet, preventing bullet movement during handling and firing. This set arrives complete with a universal shellholder, powder dipper, and load data, allowing new reloaders to begin immediately without purchasing additional components.

This reloading set is built for shooters who reload .22 Hornet ammunition for accuracy-demanding applications: varmint hunting, small-frame rifle training, or benchrest competition. The .22 Hornet's moderate power and manageable recoil make it ideal for shooters seeking precision performance in a lightweight package. Lee Precision's straightforward design philosophy means these dies function reliably with standard reloading presses, making the Pacesetter system accessible to both beginners entering handloading and experienced reloaders dedicated to this specific cartridge.
