Majja Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Has anyone actually handled both of these dies? Is there a difference, I know that on EGW they say that it is mfg'd to there specification. But are they really the dame die? Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnote Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I thought lee made them for EGW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoBell Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I could be wrong, but I thought they were the same die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 IIRC, Lee makes the EGW U-Die for EGW spec'd 0.001" undersized. I haven't seen one but I understand it is even stamped Lee. IIRC, the Lee U-die is actually 0.002-3" undersized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have both in .38 super. Can't tell them apart, The after sizing case diameter is the same, and the funneling lead in are the same. Supposedly the EGW die has a different spec, but I can't tell what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker88 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Good to know... I bought the Lee U dies in 40 & 9 and I was always wondering if I should have gotten the EGW's when I case gauge my rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majja Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yea have seen the egw and it is stamped lee. That is why I was wondering. I don't know that I in buy into our specs are different then there's for the die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowenbuilt Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have both and if there is a difference I don't own a fine enough measuring device to see it. Mine are exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I tried one (still have it) and it kept jamming the 1050 with the case mouths catching the edge and crushing. I ended up getting a CasePro100. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeOne3345 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 All you need is a standard Lee sizer set up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
