Description

The Lee Precision 90784 Taper Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth preparation for .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges. This precision-machined die eliminates case mouth flare while maintaining proper bullet tension for reliable feeding and accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard roll crimp dies that can buckle case walls, this taper crimp design gradually reduces case mouth diameter without creating stress points. The hardened steel construction maintains dimensional consistency across thousands of rounds. Internal geometry matches SAAMI specifications for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum cases, ensuring proper headspace and chamber fit.

Key Features

Dual caliber compatibility for .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges
Precision-ground hardened steel construction for dimensional stability
Standard 7/8"-14 threading fits most single-stage and progressive presses
Taper crimp design prevents case wall buckling and splitting
Factory-honed interior maintains consistent case mouth diameter
Knurled lock ring included for repeatable depth settings
Compatible with cast bullets, jacketed bullets, and plated projectiles

This die excels in high-volume reloading scenarios where case life matters. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent bullet pull required for accurate powder charges and reliable ignition. The taper crimp maintains proper case tension without work-hardening brass, extending case life beyond what roll crimp dies typically deliver. Hunters loading heavy bullets for lever-action rifles find the gradual crimp prevents bullet setback during magazine cycling.
