Lee Precision 90867 Carbide Factory Crimp Die .380 ACP Reloading

The Lee Precision 90867 Carbide Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and case mouth crimping for .380 ACP cartridges. This carbide die eliminates the need for case lubrication while providing uniform crimping pressure that enhances accuracy and feeding reliability.

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 both the case mouth and bullet cannelure simultaneously, creating more consistent cartridge overall length than taper crimp dies. This dual-action process reduces bullet setback during feeding while maintaining proper case tension.

Key Features

• Carbide construction eliminates case lubrication requirement
• Factory crimp design crimps case mouth into bullet cannelure
• Standard 7/8"-14 threading fits most single-stage and turret presses
• Includes detailed instructions and load data references
• Compatible with jacketed and lead bullets in .380 ACP
• Precision-machined threads ensure consistent die alignment
• Knurled lock ring provides secure positioning adjustment

This die produces cartridges that feed reliably in semi-automatic pistols by maintaining consistent overall length and proper bullet retention. The carbide surface stays smooth through extended use, preventing case scratching that can occur with worn steel dies. Competition shooters benefit from the uniform crimping pressure that contributes to consistent muzzle velocities, while the robust construction handles high-volume reloading sessions without degradation.
