The Lee Precision 90829 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating depth and proper case mouth crimping for both 22 Hornet and 221 Fireball cartridges. This precision reloading tool eliminates the guesswork in achieving factory-specification crimps that enhance accuracy and ensure reliable feeding.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard crimp dies that only bend the case mouth, the Lee Factory Crimp Die uses a collet system that applies uniform radial pressure around the entire bullet circumference. This approach maintains concentricity while providing the exact amount of crimp needed for optimal ballistic performance. The die works with both jacketed and cast bullets without deforming the projectile.

Key Features

  • Collet-style crimping system applies even pressure for consistent results
  • Compatible with both 22 Hornet and 221 Fireball cartridges
  • 7/8-14 threading fits all standard reloading presses
  • Hardened steel construction withstands thousands of reloading cycles
  • Built-in bullet puller capability for correcting mistakes
  • Includes detailed instructions and load data references
  • Post-sizing feature ensures proper chamber fit
Reloaders working with these small-capacity varmint cartridges benefit from the precise crimp control this die provides. The consistent bullet hold achieved translates directly to improved accuracy at extended ranges where 22 Hornet and 221 Fireball cartridges excel. Weather conditions and temperature variations have minimal impact on cartridge performance when proper crimping techniques are applied.
