Lee Precision Factory Crimp Die 38-40 Winchester

The Lee Factory Crimp Die in 38-40 Winchester is a single, standalone reloading die designed to apply a firm, uniform crimp to bottleneck rifle cartridges. Sold individually, this die is intended to add a final crimping step to a reloading press setup that already includes a full-length sizing die and bullet seating die for the same caliber.

Lee's Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet in place more firmly than a standard seating die, holding the bullet securely against recoil and rough handling. The added grip improves bullet pull consistency, ignition consistency, and reliable feeding. The die can also apply a usable crimp to bullets that do not have a dedicated crimp groove.

Constructed of steel and precision-machined to Lee's standard die dimensions, this Factory Crimp Die is factory-calibrated to 38-40 Winchester rifle cartridges only. This is not a complete reloading die set; press and other dies are sold separately.

Manufactured by Lee Precision, this die is a recommended add-on for handloaders looking to maximize bullet retention and crimp consistency on their 38-40 Winchester rifle loads.
