Redding Taper Crimp Die .40 S&W

1. Taper Crimp Design: This die is specifically engineered to apply a smooth, gradual taper crimp to the case mouth of your .40 S&W cartridges. This precision crimp is vital for ensuring reliable feeding from magazines into the chamber of semi-automatic pistols, preventing bullet setback, and contributing to consistent ignition for optimal performance in dynamic shooting situations.

2. Precision Manufacturing: Crafted from high-grade, heat-treated steel, the Redding Taper Crimp Die boasts exceptional concentricity and durability. Redding's renowned manufacturing process includes polishing the die body to minimize friction and eliminate any scratching or marring of brass cases during the crimping process, preserving your valuable brass.

3. Optimized for .40 S&W: Caliber-specific design guarantees the perfect crimp for .40 S&W straight-wall cases. This precise fit is crucial for maintaining consistent neck tension and preventing bullet setback, especially under recoil or during rapid feeding cycles, which can otherwise lead to dangerous pressure spikes and compromised accuracy.

4. Enhanced Bullet Retention: The Redding Taper Crimp Die delivers superior bullet retention without deforming the bullet or overworking the brass. This meticulous crimping action contributes significantly to improved shot-to-shot accuracy and extends the usable life of your brass cases, providing a noticeable advantage for both recreational shooters and competitive marksmen.
