LEE FACTORY CRIMP DIE
Overcomes the
Factory Advantage!
The Lee Factory Crimp Die
crimps the bullet in place more firmly than any other tool. It is impossible to buckle the
case as with regular roll crimp dies. Trim length is not critical. Tests demonstrate that
even bullets which have no cannelure will shoot more accurately if crimped in place with
the Lee Factory Crimp Die.

No crimp grove required
even with jacketed bullets
Factory ammunition is
often more accurate and better able to withstand rough handling because the bullet is
firmly crimped in place. A firm crimp improves accuracy because pressure must build to a
higher level |
before the bullet begins to move. This higher
start pressure insures a more uniform pressure curve and less velocity variation. Even
powder selection is less critical. Until now, handloaders seated the bullet to touch the
rifling to achieve similar results. This is not always possible nor desirable.
The Lee Factory Crimp Die is included at no extra
charge with Lee PaceSetter Dies.
It's just another added value that only Lee
Dies offer.
Most calibers not listed can be custom made
for $25.00. Available only from the Lee Precision Inc.
Allow 8 weeks and supply a bullet seated
in an empty case.

Randy S. from Bowdon, GA:
I just purchased one of
your factory crimp dies in .223 Rem caliber and I have to tell you that this die is
probably the best idea since sliced bread. While I was adjusting the die, I made several
dummy rounds, and found out that no matter what, you can't collapse a case shoulder. The
crimp is beautiful and it made my extreme velocity spread shrink drastically. So if this
is representative of your products, rest assured that my next set of dies will be Lee
dies.

Lee Carbide Factory Crimp Die
For Handgun Ammunition That Must Work
A carbide 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. It is impossible to buckle the case as with a
conventional seating die. Trim length is not critical so this extra operation takes less
time than it would if cases were trimmed and chamfered.
Revolver dies roll crimp with no limit as to the amount. A perfect taper crimp is
applied to auto-loader rounds. The crimper cannot be misadjusted to make a case mouth too
small to properly head-space. A firm crimp is essential for dependable and accurate
ammunition. It will eliminate the problems of poor ignition of slow burning magnum
powders. |
Custom made Special Sizes available. $30.00
Taper
Crimp Die
The Lee Taper Crimp Die is hardened steel designed to
overcome crimp problems caused by poor die design.
These dies offer little or no advantage when used with 1986 or newer Lee Dies as the crimp
angle is already a modified taper crimp.
Jacketed bullets must have a crimp groove.
