Lee Precision 90785 Taper Crimp Die - 45 Auto Rim Multi-Caliber

The Lee Precision 90785 Taper Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth forming for multiple 45-caliber cartridges. This versatile die accommodates 45 Auto Rim, 45 Schofield, 455 Webley Mark II, and 45 Winchester Magnum cartridges with precision-machined tolerances.

What Makes This Different

Unlike universal crimp dies that compromise on fit, this die features caliber-specific dimensions machined to exact SAAMI specifications. The hardened steel construction maintains consistent crimp pressure across thousands of rounds. Internal geometry prevents case mouth damage while ensuring proper bullet retention and feeding reliability.

Key Features

• Multi-caliber compatibility: 45 Auto Rim, 45 Schofield, 455 Webley Mark II, 45 Winchester Magnum
• Precision-machined hardened steel construction for dimensional consistency
• Standard 7/8-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
• Taper crimp design maintains case mouth integrity and bullet alignment
• Knurled lock ring with set screw for repeatable depth adjustment
• Internal polish eliminates case scratching and reduces operating force
• Factory-tested to SAAMI minimum and maximum specifications

The taper crimp design provides optimal bullet retention without over-crimping that can affect accuracy or feeding. This die works effectively with both lead and jacketed bullets, maintaining consistent overall cartridge length shot after shot. Competition shooters benefit from the repeatable crimp depth that ensures uniform bullet release, while the robust construction handles high-volume reloading sessions without wear.
