Lee U Die

[dejadoo]

I recently purchased a used 550B that came with a Lee U Die (.40 cal) and was looking to pick up some spare decapping pins. Countless Google searches turn up the EGW, but nothing for Lee.

Are they one and the same - and does anyone know if the EGW pins will fit the Lee?

The Lee U die is made for and distributed by EGW. They are one and the same thing. The regular Lee pins are what you want. Buy a couple.

Lee makes U dies and you can order by calling them.

EGW buys Lee U dies and machines the bottom of the die off so it will size lower on brass.

Wrong, but thanks for playing.

Concur my Lee 40 U die from Midway looks just like my Lee 9mm die from EGW and the 45 straight from Lee.

How about inside diameter of the sizing ring between the two?

It's the exact same die.

This comes up about every 6 months or so.

Lee does sell it direct as well. I bought one that way, my other 2.. from EGW..
