It is designed to be added to an existing die set or run on its own as the final step in a pistol reloading sequence, applying a precise, uniform taper crimp that sets the bullet without the case-mouth deformation common to poorly designed crimp dies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eLee builds the \u003cstrong\u003eTaper Crimp Die\u003c\/strong\u003e from \u003cstrong\u003ehardened steel\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to overcome crimp problems caused by poor die design. The die is threaded \u003cstrong\u003e7\/8x14\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it drops into any Lee turret or progressive press as well as presses from other manufacturers that use the same thread pitch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eUnlike a roll crimp that folds the case mouth inward onto a lead bullet, the Lee Taper Crimp gently squeezes the case mouth concentrically. This is especially valuable for \u003cstrong\u003e.45 Colt\u003c\/strong\u003e target and cowboy-action loads and for jacketed or hard-cast \u003cstrong\u003e.454 Casull\u003c\/strong\u003e projectiles, where a uniform crimp improves feeding, accuracy, and pressure consistency. Lee confirms that the standard \u003cstrong\u003e.45 Colt\u003c\/strong\u003e die is fully suitable for reloading \u003cstrong\u003e.454 Casull\u003c\/strong\u003e, so this single die covers both calibers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eSold as a single \u003cstrong\u003e1-die\u003c\/strong\u003e unit, the \u003cstrong\u003eLee 90786\u003c\/strong\u003e is a focused, no-nonsense finishing die for the reloader working up .45 Colt cowboy-action, plinking, and hunting loads, or powerful .454 Casull hunting ammunition. It pairs naturally with any Lee pistol die set that includes a sizing die and bullet seater for the same caliber.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55044194304322,"sku":"173555","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7921\/5682\/files\/hires_d6af410d-00ae-4956-abb0-79aa69a08a02.png?v=1784695181","url":"https:\/\/centerfiresystems.com\/products\/lee-precision-90786-taper-crimp-die-45-colt-454-casull-7-8x14-steel","provider":"Centerfire Systems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
