Hornady Custom Grade taper crimp die applies precise crimp to auto-loading pistol cases. High-quality steel construction ensures reliable feeding and function for years of reloading.
The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension Taper Crimp Die is an essential tool for handloaders who demand precision and reliability. Designed specifically for auto-loading pistol cartridges, this die applies the proper taper crimp needed for consistent feeding and reliable function in semi-automatic firearms.
Unlike rifle cartridges, auto-loading pistol ammunition requires a taper crimp rather than a roll crimp. A taper crimp gradually reduces the case diameter near the case mouth without creating a pronounced ring. This design prevents case bulging, ensures reliable chambering, and promotes consistent feeding through semi-automatic actions.
Hornady's Custom Grade dies represent the company's commitment to precision reloading. This taper crimp die will serve serious handloaders for decades, delivering consistent results with every round you produce.
