Product Description
Lee Precision 90861 Carbide Factory Crimp Die .38 Special/357 MagnumThe Lee reloading business began in the home workshop of Richard Lee in 1958 with the invention of the famous Lee Loader for shotgun shells. Lee Loaders, for rifle and pistol ammunition, were invented in the early sixties. These highly effective and economical tools introduced over one and a half million shooters to reloading. The seventies saw the first lathe turned aluminum bullet molds along with melters and sizers. These make casting bullets easy and more precise than ever before possible. The molds are so precise that most Lee bullets do not require sizing. Toward the mid decade, the enormously popular Lee Load-All for shotgun shells was invented. The huge following of Lee Loader users enthusiastically upgraded to new Lee presses and dies when they were introduced in the eighties.
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 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.
