    Lee factory crimp

    Can someone explain the pros and cons to using this die? I've never thought about one until someone mentioned it on wes's site. Now I'm thinking it could help. Is Lee the only company that makes a factory crimp die?
    It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're running with turkeys.

    Yes, Lee is the only company that makes a factory crimp die. There are 2 different types, one for straight wall handgun and another for rifle. The rifle type works very well. The handgun type uses a carbide ring to post sizes the case. Some find the ring troublesome because it will resize a cast bullet inside the case.

    You would need to purchase one for each caliber. I buy mine at MidwayUSA but shop around to make sure it is the best price. They had the best price the last time I bought one

    I use them on everything I load.
    Makes sure the pistol rounds will all chamber and the rifle die will not buckle the shoulder on your rifle cases
