Lee Precision 92179 Factory Crimp Die 22 Creedmoor Reloading

The Lee Precision 92179 Factory Crimp Die delivers consistent bullet seating depth and proper case mouth tension for 22 Creedmoor cartridges. This specialized reloading die eliminates over-crimping while ensuring reliable chambering and optimal accuracy across different bullet weights.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard roll crimp dies that can buckle case walls, the Factory Crimp Die uses a collet system that applies uniform pressure around the entire case mouth. The design accommodates varying case lengths without adjustment, maintaining consistent crimp tension regardless of brass manufacturer. This approach reduces case preparation time while delivering more uniform results than traditional crimping methods.

Key Features

• Collet-style crimping system prevents case wall deformation and over-crimping
• Self-adjusting design works with mixed brass lengths without die adjustment
• Hardened steel construction with precision-machined threads for durability
• Standard 7/8"-14 threads fit all major reloading presses
• Post-sizing feature ensures consistent case dimensions for reliable feeding
• Removes case mouth flare while maintaining proper bullet tension
• Compatible with all 22 Creedmoor bullet weights from 55 to 90 grains

The Factory Crimp Die proves particularly valuable for precision rifle competition where consistent cartridge dimensions directly impact accuracy. Match shooters report improved ES/SD numbers when using this die compared to standard roll crimp alternatives. The collet design also benefits hunters using different bullet types, as it maintains proper crimp regardless of bullet profile or cannelure placement.
