Custom Rifle Factory Crimp Die

The Factory crimp die can be made for a wide variety of cartridges. Most cartridges will fit into the 7/8 x 14 thread die body. If your cartridge falls within the following parameters it will fit the standard 7/8 x 14 die:

Bullet diameter .172" - .501" (minimum - maximum)
Body diameter .295" - .562" (minimum - maximum)
Case length 1.250" - 2.850" (minimum - maximum)

Custom Large Series Factory Crimp Die

Cartridges over the maximum in any of the above three parameters will probably fit into the Large Series Die 1 1/4x12 thread, so your press must be capable of accepting this thread size. The only press we manufacture that can accept the Large Series Dies is our Classic Cast Press.

Note: If you are using a competitor's press with removable bushing, consider our 1 1/2-12 to 1 1/4-12 die adapter bushing. This bushing will allow you to install these dies into your press.

Case diameter at base .563" to .640" (minimum - maximum)
Case Length over 2.850"
Bullet diameter .501" to .600" (minimum - maximum)

12.7x42mm fifty beowulf Factory Crimp Die

91738

12.7x42mm fifty beowulf Factory Crimp Die crimps the bullet in place more firmly than any other tool. Tests demonstrate that even bullets which have no crimp groove will shoot more accurately. A firm crimp improves accuracy because pressure must build to a higher level before the bullet begins to move. This higher start pressure insures a more uniform pressure curve and less velocity variation.
