Redding Profile Crimp Die .38 Special/.357 Mag
Premium profile crimp die for .38 Special and .357 Magnum delivers uniform roll-type crimp after bullet seating. Engineered to eliminate half-moon crimp issues and tighten shot groups.
Superior Crimp Control for Magnum Handgun Cartridges
Redding's Profile Crimp Die represents a purposeful solution to a persistent problem in handgun reloading: the half-moon crimp that plagues magnum cartridge loads. This die was developed specifically to address the needs of precision shooters who demand consistency and accuracy.
How It Works
The profile crimp die applies a tight, uniform roll-type crimp after the bullet has been seated to the correct depth in a separate operation. This two-stage approach ensures that crimp quality is optimized independent of seating depth variables.
Key Features
- Uniform Roll Crimp: Delivers consistent, professional-quality crimping across all rounds
- Tighter Groups: The superior crimp geometry has been proven to improve shot grouping
- Magnum-Optimized Design: Specifically engineered for .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges
- Progressive Die Compatible: Included as standard equipment in Redding progressive die sets
Important Note
This die is designed for cartridges that headspace on the case body, not the case mouth. The bullet must be seated to correct depth in a previous operation before crimping.
The Redding Difference
When precision matters—whether you're loading for silhouette competition or developing accurate hunting loads—the quality of your crimp directly affects performance. Redding's profile crimp die eliminates the guesswork and delivers the uniform results that serious reloaders demand.
