The Lee Precision Carbide Factory Crimp Die is designed to give reloaders the perfect crimp on each round of reloaded ammunition. The Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet more firmly in place than any other die with more uniform pressure. The Carbide Factory Crimp Die features a carbide ring that sizes the cartridge while it is being crimped so every round will positively chamber freely with factory-like dependability. The adjusting screw quickly and easily sets the desired amount of crimp while a factory-like crimp is added to more firmly hold the bullet in place. Lee's testing has shown that using a Factory Crimp Die provides a more uniform pressure curve, increasing the accuracy of any bullet. A firm crimp is essential for dependable and accurate ammunition. Cartridge: .38 Special. Numbe.

About this product

Product Information

When you want to maximize your stock and boost accuracy at the same time, Lee Factory Precision 38 357 Carbide Factory Crimp Die comes to the rescue. Having more ammunition to get more practice improves your marksmanship. Competition shooters need to keep their mind on winning, rather than worrying about jammed weapons. Those with personal defense in mind know that high levels of accuracy are important, whether you're carrying a rifle, pistol, or shotgun. This die produces reliable ammunition. Fast reflexes and quick thinking don't allow time for ammunition malfunctions. Accuracy matters most when you're sizing up the situation and might not get a second shot. Spend more time at practice so you can make that one shot count with professional reliability and dependability. With bullets being a precious commodity, it can be worthwhile to some shooters to make their own ammunition. Spent casings and cartridges are freely available at the range for those with the desire to save time. Avoid searching high and low for hard-to-find stock. This die produces crimped ammunition at home to keep your gun loaded with high-quality bullets. This makes it ideal for gun enthusiasts who no longer want to purchase large amounts of ammunition. Use ammunition produced by this die with slow burning powder for greater efficiency since the firmness of the crimp allows you to eliminate potential ignition problems. Easily set your desired amount of crimp with the adjusting screw. This Lee factory die crimps bullets without producing a groove ring around the bullet. This lack of a groove provides reliable and uniform quality and performance. The clear material makes it easy to monitor the crimping process, and the carbide construction offers increased durability and efficiency. Those new to the reloading process will appreciate not having to spend extra time learning how to cut precisely. When using this Lee Factory Crimp Die, trim length is not important, making it easier and faster to produce ammunition due to not having to trim and chamfer. The protective case is impossible to buckle under pressure, ensuring peace of mind during repetitive use. The Lee precision 38 357 Die provides a roll crimp, ensuring dependability like that of commercially marketed ammunition. This is done by consistently sizing the cartridge to be exactly the same. Every round of ammo will chamber freely, allowing for greatly improved dependability when shooting. When shooting at the range or in a crisis, you won't have to worry about your ammo jamming up. Designed specifically for .38 special and .357 magnum ammunition, this tool saves shooters hassle caused by trying to find quality ammunition. This allows you to remove bulges from brass found at the range and make your own ammunition at home. This ability enables shooters to protect both themselves and the environment by recycling used brass. It can turn what would have been trash into dependable pistol rounds, allowing for less mess and more firing.

Great Crimping Die. One more step but well worth it.
These things do a nice job crimping. It is an easy set up. I was wrinkling cases with the bullet pusher and the crimping die all in one. No problem like that with these. And it also gives you peace of mind knowing that you have sized them one last time. Yes these dies do that too. I should have bought them years ago.

Better Than Taper Crimp
I bought this die because I started powder coating my cast bullets and they were tumble lube designs that had no crimp grooves. This die makes fantastic crimps with little effort and doesn't bulge or deform the case in any way, it also has a carbide ring at the mouth to make sure the cartridge always chambers.

Much needed
Works amazing. Whether you're new to reloading or have only been reloading certain calibers, this is much needed. The factory crimp die with the open head (non adjustable) works well for some, but when loading certain projectiles with certain powders, having the ability to adjust just how much of a crimp you want is essential. Theres other brands you can buy, but for the average Joe and the price, it's amazing! Plus, it makes for a great backup.
