The Lee Precision 90855 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth crimping for .444 Marlin cartridges. This precision reloading die eliminates bullet setback while ensuring uniform cartridge overall length for reliable feeding in lever-action rifles.
What Makes This Different
The Factory Crimp Die applies a post-sizing crimp that duplicates factory ammunition specifications exactly. Unlike standard roll crimp dies that can buckle case walls, this design uses a collet system to apply uniform pressure around the entire case mouth. The result is improved accuracy and enhanced reliability in tubular magazine firearms where bullet setback poses safety concerns.
Key Features
- Precision-machined steel construction with hardened components for extended service life
- Collet-style crimping system prevents case wall distortion and bullet deformation
- Standard 7/8"-14 threading fits all major reloading presses
- Includes detailed instructions and load data specific to .444 Marlin cartridges
- Factory crimp specifications ensure consistent cartridge overall length
- Compatible with cast bullets, jacketed bullets, and plated projectiles
- Eliminates bullet setback in tubular magazine applications
This die excels in applications requiring maximum reliability and consistency. Hunters using lever-action rifles benefit from the uniform crimping that prevents bullet migration under recoil. Competition shooters achieve improved accuracy through consistent bullet seating depth and case tension. The factory crimp specification ensures reliable feeding in Marlin 444, Winchester Model 94 Big Bore, and other .444 Marlin chambered rifles.
