Lee Factory Crimp Die for 22 Creedmoor
The Lee 92179 Factory Crimp Die brings precision rifle reloading to the next level by incorporating a collet-based crimping system that applies a true rifle-style crimp to your cartridges.
Key Features
- Collet-based crimping system applies consistent, powerful rifle-type crimps
- Works with standard bullets — no crimp groove required, as the collet forms one during the crimping process
- Improves accuracy by establishing a firm crimp that raises bullet start pressure
- Reduces velocity variation through more uniform pressure curves
- Steel construction (not carbide)
Why Crimp Matters
A firm crimp ensures that bullets remain seated during the pressure curve buildup in the chamber. This controlled resistance means pressure must rise to a higher level before the bullet moves, creating a more consistent and predictable pressure curve. The result is tighter velocity spreads and improved downrange accuracy—critical advantages for precision shooting.
Ideal For
Reloaders working with the 22 Creedmoor who want to maximize accuracy and consistency, particularly those who have struggled with difficult-to-crimp cartridges in the past.
