The Lee Precision 90067 Carbide Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet retention and proper case mouth dimensions for 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R Magnum cartridges. This specialized reloading die addresses the common issue of inconsistent crimps that can affect accuracy and reliable feeding in revolvers.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard taper crimp dies, the Factory Crimp Die uses a collet system that applies uniform pressure around the entire case mouth circumference. The carbide construction eliminates the need for case lubrication during the crimping process. This design produces more consistent bullet pull tension compared to roll crimp dies, resulting in improved shot-to-shot velocity consistency.
Key Features
- Carbide construction requires no case lubrication for smooth operation
- Collet-style crimping system ensures uniform pressure distribution
- Compatible with both 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R Magnum cases
- Standard 7/8-14 thread pitch fits most single-stage and turret presses
- Includes detailed instructions with recommended crimp settings
- Hardened steel construction resists wear from high-volume reloading
- Precision-machined threads ensure consistent die alignment
Reloaders working with these moderate-pressure revolver cartridges benefit from the die's ability to maintain consistent overall cartridge length while providing adequate bullet retention. The Factory Crimp Die proves particularly valuable when loading cast bullets or when cases have been fired multiple times and exhibit slight mouth irregularities. Competition shooters appreciate the consistent crimp depth that contributes to uniform powder burn and velocity spreads.
