The Lee Precision 90176 9mm Makarov Carbide 3-Die Set provides the essential tooling required to full-length resize, expand, charge, and seat handloaded 9x18mm Makarov ammunition. Built around standard 7/8"-14 threads, this mechanical set mounts to virtually all conventional single-stage and progressive reloading presses. The full-length sizing die features a contour-ground, solid carbide ring that sizes reloadable brass cases without case lubrication, eliminating oil dents and streamlining workflow. Accompanied by a powder-through expanding die and a bullet seating die with built-in crimp, this set processes true .365" diameter Makarov projectiles and includes a calibre-matched universal shell holder, powder dipper, fitted storage box, and load data.

Key Features

• Carbide Sizing Ring: Full-length resizes brass cases and decaps spent Boxer primers without the need for case lube.
• Powder-Through Expanding Die: Flares the case mouth to accept .365" projectiles while allowing simultaneous powder charging via an attached measure or manual funnel.
• Bullet Seating and Crimp Die: Adjusts seating depth for consistent overall cartridge length and applies a modified taper/roll crimp.
• Universal Press Compatibility: Standard 7/8"-14 thread standard fits standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses.
• Complete Setup Package: Packaged in a fitted storage box with a calibre-specific steel shell holder, powder measure dipper, and factory charge table.

Who is the Lee Precision 90176 9mm Makarov Carbide 3 Die Set For Reloading for?

• Military surplus handgun reloaders — Sizes and loads specific 9x18mm Makarov brass cases for surplus platforms such as the Makarov PM and CZ 82, using dedicated .365" bullet diameter internal dimensions.
• Custom competition handloaders — Mounts directly into standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses to accurately seat custom .365" diameter competition projectile profiles while simultaneously charging powder through the expanding die.

Less suitable for: Standard 9mm shooters requiring tooling for 9x19mm Parabellum, 9x17mm (.380 ACP), or 9x21mm cases (which require dedicated .355" calibre die sets), or reloaders attempting to process steel-cased, Berdan-primed military surplus ammunition that can break decapping pins and fracture carbide rings.
