Lee Factory Crimp Die for 6.5x55 Swiss
The Lee Factory Crimp Die represents a significant advancement in handloading precision. Unlike conventional seating dies, this specialized tool performs two critical functions simultaneously: it post-sizes your rifle cartridges while applying a firm, uniform crimp.
Key Features
- Carbide Sizer: Post-sizes cartridges to factory specifications while crimping
- Guaranteed Chamber Fit: Every round chambers freely, just as factory ammunition does
- Improved Accuracy: A firm crimp holds the bullet in place more securely than standard seating
- Consistent Pressure Curve: Higher start pressure ensures uniform velocity and reduced shot-to-shot variation
- Versatile Compatibility: Works with a wide range of ammunition types, including jacketed bullets
- Powerful Crimp: Strong enough to crimp bullets without cannelures
How It Works
Simply adjust the crimp screw to set your desired crimp amount. The die's carbide sizer automatically post-sizes your cartridges to factory specifications while the crimp mechanism secures the bullet firmly in place.
Why Factory Crimp Matters
A properly applied crimp improves accuracy by preventing bullet movement during firing. It also promotes a more uniform pressure curve throughout the firing sequence, resulting in less velocity variation between rounds. This consistency is essential for precision shooting and hunting applications.
