Redding Taper Crimp Die .44 Special/.44 Magnum

1. Taper Crimp Function: This die expertly applies a smooth, gradual taper crimp, crucial for straight-walled handgun cartridges like the .44 Special and .44 Magnum. It ensures reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms by removing the case mouth flare and preventing bullet setback during feeding and recoil, while also being suitable for revolver loads.

2. Precision Machining: Crafted from heat-treated steel, the Redding Taper Crimp Die benefits from Redding's rigorous manufacturing standards. Its precision-machined dimensions and polished surfaces guarantee consistent crimps, minimize brass wear, and ensure the longevity of both the die and your reloading components.

3. Optimal Bullet Retention: Designed for superior bullet retention, this die provides the ideal amount of crimp to hold the bullet securely in the case without deforming the bullet or overworking the brass. This results in more uniform cartridge dimensions and contributes to enhanced accuracy and safety.

4. Simplified Reloading Process: As a dedicated crimping die, it isolates the crimping step from bullet seating, allowing for finer control over each stage of the reloading process. This separation helps reloaders achieve precise adjustments for optimal performance across various bullet types and powder charges.

ABOUT THE REDDING TAPER CRIMP DIE .44 SPECIAL/.44 MAGNUM

The Redding Taper Crimp Die for .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges stands out as a critical tool for any serious handgun reloader, offering a significant upgrade over standard seating dies that perform crimping simultaneously. Unlike roll crimps, which are best suited for revolver cartridges, the taper crimp is essential for proper feeding in semi-automatic handguns, preventing the case mouth from catching in the feed ramp. Constructed from high-grade, heat-treated steel, this die is built to withstand rigorous use, ensuring lifelong precision and consistency. Its specialized design ensures a uniform, concentric crimp that firmly secures the bullet without deforming the case or bullet, which is paramount for achieving superior accuracy and reliable function. For hunters, sport shooters, and competitive pistoliers, using a dedicated taper crimp die means fewer malfunctions and more consistent ammunition performance in the field or at the range.
