LEE FACTORY CRIMP DIE (38-55 WINCHESTER )

I received two of these as Christmas gifts and therefore this one has never been used.         The Lee Factory Crimp Die for the 38-55 ( .379 ) is designed to give reloaders the perfect crimp on each round of reloaded ammunition. The Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet more firmly in place than any other die with more uniform pressure. The Factory Crimp Die features a collet that squeezes the case mouth into the crimping groove for a firm hold. This is the same type of crimp on factory ammo. It is nearly impossible to buckle the case when crimping when compared to a regular roll crimp die. Lee's testing has shown that using a Factory Crimp Die provides a more uniform pressure curve, increasing the accuracy of any bullet. If your bullet has no cannelure this die can also be set to make its own.      I am willing to ship at buyer’s expense, or offer local pick up --- I am also in Red Deer one day per week and can arrange to meet there, or enroute, for delivery.    ***PLEASE NOTE*** I will have tables at the Calgary Arms Show on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Centre. Hosted by the Alberta Arms & Cartridge Collectors Association (AACCA), the one-day event runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and I can bring any purchased items for pickup during show hours.
