Redding Profile Crimp Die .44 Special/.44 Mag

Superior Crimp Control for Magnum Handgun Rounds

Redding's Profile Crimp Die represents a purposeful solution to a common reloading challenge. Developed to address the "half-moon" crimp problem that plagues magnum handgun cartridges, this die delivers what serious reloaders demand: uniformity and performance.

How It Works

Unlike standard crimping methods, the profile crimp die applies a tight, uniform roll-type crimp after the bullet has been seated to precise depth in a separate operation. This two-stage approach ensures consistent crimp geometry across every round you load.

Key Features

• Uniform Roll-Type Crimp: Eliminates the inconsistent half-moon crimp common in magnum loads
• Precision Engineering: Tightens shot groups through superior ammunition consistency
• Dedicated Design: Engineered specifically for .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges
• Professional Standard: Included in all Redding progressive die sets for these calibers

Important Consideration

This die is designed for cartridges that headspace on the case body, not the case mouth. Proper bullet seating depth in a previous operation is essential for optimal results.

The Result

Whether you're a silhouette competitor or a handgun enthusiast, this crimp die transforms ammunition quality and consistency—delivering measurable improvements in accuracy and reliability.
