Lee Precision 90866 Carbide Factory Crimp Die .38 Super Reloading

The Lee Precision 90866 Carbide Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth crimping for .38 Super cartridges. This carbide die eliminates the need for case lubrication while providing uniform crimp pressure that enhances feeding reliability and accuracy.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard steel dies, the carbide construction resists wear and maintains precise tolerances through thousands of reloading cycles. The factory crimp design applies controlled pressure to remove case mouth bell while securing the bullet without deformation. This dual-action process reduces reloading steps compared to separate seating and crimping operations.

Key Features

• Carbide construction eliminates case lubrication requirements
• Factory crimp design removes case bell and secures bullet in single operation
• Precision-machined threads fit standard 7/8"-14 reloading presses
• Hardened steel components resist wear from repeated use
• Adjustable crimp depth accommodates various bullet profiles
• Compatible with Lee Auto-Breech Lock Pro and Classic Turret presses
• Includes detailed setup and adjustment instructions

This die produces consistent cartridge overall length and proper case tension for reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. The controlled crimp pressure prevents bullet setback during feeding while maintaining accuracy standards required for competition shooting. Carbide construction maintains dimensional stability across temperature variations common in reloading environments.
