Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die .356-358

Purpose and Performance

The Lee Factory Crimp Die represents a straightforward approach to one of reloading's most overlooked details: the crimp. This tool crimps the bullet in place with greater firmness than conventional methods, resulting in measurably improved accuracy.

How It Works

A firm crimp accomplishes something fundamental to consistent shooting:

  • Higher start pressure: The bullet resists movement until chamber pressure builds to a higher level
  • Uniform pressure curve: More consistent pressure development throughout the firing sequence
  • Reduced velocity variation: Tighter velocity spreads mean tighter shot groups

Key Features

  • Works with .356-358 caliber ammunition
  • Effective even on bullets without crimp grooves
  • Improves accuracy through pressure uniformity
  • Straightforward Lee design and operation

The Bottom Line

If you're serious about accuracy, the crimp deserves your attention. This die makes the process simple and delivers results that show up on the target.
