480 Ruger pistol bullet seating die only complete.

There are two crimp shoulders in our pistol Bullet Seating Dies. The first shoulder applies a slight taper crimp and the second shoulder applies a full roll crimp. The closer the die is adjusted to the shell holder the heavier the crimp will be.

Consider completing the bullet seating die with handgun micrometer adjuster. Provides precision bullet seating depth. Easy to read laser engraved divisions represent .001" of an inch. No clicks, just smooth adjustment.

Lee 480 Ruger 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.
