Factory Crimp Die Caliber 300 Win Short Magnum LEE
Lee Factory Crimp Die for the 300 Winchester Short Magnum caliber is expertly engineered to deliver an optimal crimping solution for your metallic and semi-metallic cartridge reloading needs.
This precision die is specifically designed to apply a consistent and firm factory-style crimp, ensuring the bullet is securely anchored to the case neck without causing any deformation or damage to the brass casing or bullet seating.
Featuring a robust crimping collar, this die tightly compresses the case mouth into the bullets crimp groove, providing a reliable and repeatable hold that enhances overall cartridge integrity during feeding and firing cycles.
Extensive ballistic testing conducted by Lee has demonstrated that utilizing the Factory Crimp Die produces a more uniform chamber pressure curve, which directly contributes to improved shot-to-shot consistency and enhanced projectile accuracy.
Notably, this die is effective even with bullets lacking traditional cannelures or crimp grooves, as the controlled crimping action stabilizes the bullet and reduces the likelihood of bullet setback or movement under recoil.
The enhanced crimping process increases the initial resistance to bullet movement, requiring higher ignition pressure before the projectile begins to travel down the barrel. This elevated initial pressure ensures a smoother and more predictable pressure curve, minimizing velocity variations and improving ballistic performance.
Recommended primarily for use in semi-automatic rifles and lever-action firearms, where secure bullet retention is critical to reliable feeding and consistent chambering.
Please note that this Factory Crimp Die does not include a shellholder and is compatible with reloading presses that accept the standard 7/8"-14 thread pattern.
Constructed from high-grade steel for durability and long service life, the die comes housed in a protective plastic case for safe storage and transport.
