Lee Factory Crimp Die .308 Winchester 90823 assures a consistent crimp and allows reliable chambering of your finely reloaded ammunition. A crimp die, also known as a roll or compression crimp die, is a die used to crimp the projectile until a groove or a bullet-crimp groove forms but does not form until the die is rotated. The purpose of a crimp die is to keep the bullet or projectile from sliding off during normal firing. With a little practice, however, you can make your own crimp die and achieve a consistent crimp and chambering for your handgun or rifle. The purpose of a crimp die, according to the instructions of the manufacturer, is to apply a specific amount of crimp when the die is rotated off the bullet or projectile. A crimp die, also know as a press crimp die, forms a crimp groove in the case mouth. A crimp is a small amount of pressure that is placed on the bullet or projectile during crimping. When you release the screw, the crimp is set and the die automatically returns to the previously set crimp position.
