LEE 92162 Factory Crimp Micro Seater Adapter for 44/45 Caliber

The LEE 92162 Factory Crimp Micro Seater Adapter transforms standard reloading setups into precision crimping systems for .44 and .45 caliber cartridges. This adapter eliminates the need for separate crimping dies by integrating factory crimp functionality directly into existing seating operations.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional separate crimping dies that require additional press strokes and die changes, this adapter combines bullet seating and crimping in one operation. The micro-adjustment feature allows precise crimp control in increments as small as 0.001 inches. This integrated approach reduces case handling and maintains consistent overall cartridge length while applying uniform crimp pressure.

Key Features

• Integrated bullet seating and factory crimp operation reduces press strokes by 50%
• Micro-adjustment threads provide 0.001-inch crimp control precision
• Compatible with .44 Magnum, .44 Special, .45 ACP, and .45 Colt cartridges
• Hardened steel construction withstands high-pressure crimping forces
• Standard 7/8-14 threading fits most single-stage and turret presses
• Factory crimp design maintains case mouth integrity for multiple reloads
• Eliminates case mouth flare while preserving brass longevity

The adapter maintains consistent crimp depth across production runs, critical for achieving uniform velocities in both target loads and hunting ammunition. Competitive shooters benefit from the repeatable crimp pressure that contributes to shot-to-shot consistency. The factory crimp profile ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols and proper case extraction in revolvers.
