I have been using Lee products for almost 50 years. I have always found them to be a "good bang for the buck". This die was needed to give me a good factory-type crimp using my Lee Loadmaster. My old crimp die just didn't do that very well. No surprise. Worked as designed.

I taper crimp 45 ACP cartridges to prevent my Colt officers model from occasionally not going into battery. This eliminated the issue. I also taper crimp 45 ACP cartridges to chamber in my 45 ACP Ruger Blackhawk cylinder. Otherwise, I had chambering problems. I tried both just using the bullet seating die without taper crimping & then tapering crimping in my 9MM Hi Power. I was pleasantly surprised taking the extra step & taper crimping my 9MM cartridges actually improved on the accuracy of my semi auto. 3 good reasons to include taper crimping rimless cartridges.

After using this crimper (9mm) taper crimp, I checked all first 100 rounds with my calipers. Every round measured exactly to factory spec and when tested they all fed flawlessly, I even chambered a handful multiple times as if I were Un-chambering around the family gatherings when kids are present then re-chambering when I leave, none of them seated any deeper, no complaints. Nice crimp die, holds tight.

A good, functioning set of dies. They will work just like the more expensive brands. I would recommend that you also purchase a taper crimp die. This will help you produce better functioning ammunition.

I went without a taper crimp die for decades, but when I bought a match barrel for one of my 9MMs, I couldn't get the round to seat all the way into the chamber. The taper crimp die fixed my problem. I bought another for my 45 auto.
