The Lee Precision 90962 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating and reliable crimping for 270 Winchester Short Magnum cartridges. This specialized reloading die eliminates case mouth flare while providing uniform bullet grip across all brass types.
What Makes This Different
The Factory Crimp Die uses Lee's patented collet system that applies crimps based on cartridge case length rather than die adjustment. This design accommodates mixed brass headstamps and varying case lengths without requiring readjustment. The die crimps into the cannelure groove or creates a taper crimp on bullets without cannelures, ensuring optimal bullet retention for magnum cartridge pressures.
Key Features
- Patented collet crimping system adjusts automatically to case length variations
- Works with all bullet types including plated, jacketed, and cast projectiles
- Eliminates case mouth flare while maintaining consistent neck tension
- Standard 7/8"-14 thread fits all major reloading presses
