Product Information

Blackpowder cartridge shooters know the value of compression dies. They create uniform compression, eliminating dangerous gaps in the case. These quality steel dies feature 7/8" x 14 threads, and work in most reloading presses. Dies must be used with a Die Stem of the appropriate caliber.

Technical Information


Material:Steel

Notes:
  • Compression dies are used to compress the black powder in the cartridge case to a consistent depth.
  • The die body has standard 7/8 x 14 thread to fit into any single stage reloading press.
  • The stem threads into the center of the die body and is secured with a nut on the threads that bears against the top of the die body. Stem threads are not calibrated or otherwise marked.
  • Compression die with stem is the body with one stem that is caliber specific.
  • The stem (only) can then be purchased in additional calibers or gauges for use in the die body.
  • If stem setting in body must be maintained exactly, then multiple die bodies would be needed, one for each stem.
  • Shotgun stems are not sold with a die body and must be purchased as an accessory to a body with stem.
  • Montana Precision recommends that a compression die be used for black powder cartridge reloading and that a bullet seater should not be used because it can deform the bullet. Instead, the bullet should be seated into the cartridge with finger pressure only.
