Lee reloading die spares

**MoeHS1** · 05-05-2016, 10:48

Hello. I have an old set of Lee reloading dies for 38 special. I need some new o rings for them which I can't find anywhere locally because of the imperial sizing. I was told to contact you since you are the importers for Lee products. Is it possible for me to buy them directly from you or will I have to through a gun shop. I have the SKU numbers from the Lee website.

O RING 016 ID 5/8 - SKU: AD2299
O-RING 7/16 X .070 - SKU: SB2155

Thanks in advance

Mohamed

Have tried Seal Centre in Hermanstad? They should be able to help you. I am also sure that a slight difference in size wont make a difference.

Go to any BMG (Bearingman) store, they'll sort you out.
Just take the old one with as samples

You'll have to go through a gunshop. Rather go with SeanW's idea.

Just buy proper lock rings, I think S&O carry them.

SeanW and Brendank. I have tried BMG and they didn't have the right size for both

It's not for the lock rings. I need the smaller ones inside the bullet seating and expander dies

Ah now I understand.

The imperial sizing shouldn't matter, just get the closest (bigger) in metric.
You can also get o ring cord from most bearing places, just cut to the size you need and super glue.

I find it really odd that BMG didn't have...

...
What Gleock said above

or ...

if you really are hell bent on finding o-rings that are imperial try a hydraulics place as most hydraulic systems use imperial sizes or find a "Wurth" dealer, they have ranges of o-rings for all sorts of sizes and shapes.
