Hornady Custom Grade taper crimp die for .45 ACP pistol ammunition. Applies precise crimp to improve feeding and function in semi-automatic pistols. High-quality steel construction.
The Hornady Custom Grade New Dimension Taper Crimp Die is an essential tool for anyone serious about reloading pistol ammunition. This die applies the precise crimp necessary for reliable feeding and function in semi-automatic pistols chambered in .45 ACP.
Unlike rifle ammunition, pistol rounds benefit from a taper crimp rather than a roll crimp. A taper crimp gradually reduces the case diameter near the case mouth without creating a sharp ring, which is critical for reliable feeding in semi-automatic pistols. This die ensures your reloads meet professional standards.
Hornady's commitment to quality means this die will serve you reliably for thousands of rounds. The robust steel construction withstands the pressures of regular reloading without wear or degradation.
