Lee Precision 90824 Factory Crimp Die 30-06 Springfield Reloading

The Lee Precision 90824 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth crimping for 30-06 Springfield cartridges. This die applies the same crimp used in factory ammunition production, ensuring reliable feeding and consistent performance in semi-automatic rifles.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard roll crimp dies that can buckle case walls, the Factory Crimp Die uses a collet system that applies uniform radial pressure around the entire case mouth. This design maintains case concentricity while providing the exact crimp tension found in commercial ammunition. The die works with both cannelured and non-cannelured bullets, making it suitable for various projectile types.

Key Features

• Collet-style crimping system prevents case wall buckling and maintains concentricity
• Compatible with cannelured and non-cannelured bullets from 150 to 220 grains
• 7/8-14 TPI threading fits all standard reloading presses
• Hardened steel construction with precise machining tolerances
• Includes detailed instructions and load data recommendations
• Post-sizing feature corrects minor case dimension variations
• Works with brass, nickel-plated, and military surplus cases

This die proves particularly valuable for reloaders using semi-automatic rifles like the M1 Garand or M1A, where consistent case dimensions and proper crimp tension ensure reliable cycling. The post-sizing feature corrects any case expansion from previous reloading operations, while the factory-style crimp prevents bullet setback during feeding. Hunters and competitive shooters report improved accuracy consistency when switching from roll crimp to factory crimp dies.
