Lee Precision Carbide Factory Crimp Die 45 ACP

The Lee Precision Carbide Factory Crimp Die is a single-station reloading die purpose-built for 45 ACP handgun cartridges. Built around a carbide crimp ring, this die applies a precise roll-style crimp that secures the bullet in the case mouth for consistent feeding and dependable ignition in semi-automatic pistols. The carbide ring does not reduce case diameter during crimping, eliminating the need for case lubrication in this step.

An external adjusting screw lets the reloader dial in exactly the amount of crimp needed, and case trim length is not critical because the carbide ring does not reduce case diameter. Designed for use on any standard single-stage or turret press, this die functions as a final-stage finishing tool that pairs with a separate sizing and seating die to produce factory-grade 45 ACP ammunition.

Made in the USA by Lee Precision, this Factory Crimp Die (model 90864) is the go-to upgrade for handloaders who want a firm, accurate roll crimp on their 45 ACP cases without buying a full multi-die set. Sold as a single die.
