G'day all,

Brand new Lee .44-40 dies just opened, just wondering what this hole is for?

Yep.  Bottleneck case sizer dies usually have the vent to keep extra lube from putting a dent into the shoulder.  Dies for straight wall cases don't need one - no shoulder.

 

good luck, GJ

Lyman probably will tell you - don't use so much case lube, if you are denting cases.  :D

good luck, GJ
