The Lee Precision 90838 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth crimping for 7-30 Waters cartridges. This die applies a controlled factory-style crimp that ensures reliable feeding and consistent ballistic performance shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard roll crimp dies, the Factory Crimp Die uses a collet system that applies uniform pressure around the entire case mouth. This design prevents case mouth deformation while maintaining proper bullet tension. The die works with both jacketed and cast bullets, accommodating various projectile types without requiring adjustment changes.
Key Features
- Collet-style crimping system provides 360-degree case mouth contact
- Compatible with jacketed, plated, and cast lead bullets
- Standard 7/8"-14 threading fits most reloading presses
- Hardened steel construction with precision-machined surfaces
- Includes detailed instructions and load data references
- Works with factory and handloaded ammunition
- No case length trimming required for proper operation
The Factory Crimp Die excels in applications requiring consistent ammunition performance. Hunters loading for lever-action rifles benefit from the reliable feeding characteristics, while target shooters appreciate the consistent bullet release and improved accuracy potential. The die handles varying case lengths without adjustment, making it ideal for mixed brass lots or cases that have been fired multiple times.
