Redding Taper Crimp Die .45 ACP & AR

1. Taper Crimp Design: This die is specifically engineered to apply a controlled taper crimp, critical for straight-wall cartridges like the .45 ACP and .45 AR. Unlike roll crimps, a taper crimp does not roll the case mouth into a cannelure, ensuring a clean finish that promotes reliable feeding in semi-automatic firearms and prevents bullet setback into the case.

2. Precision Engineering: Manufactured from high-quality, hardened steel, the Redding Taper Crimp Die is meticulously machined to tight tolerances. Its polished interior surfaces minimize friction, reducing brass wear and ensuring consistent crimp uniformity shot after shot, which is essential for maintaining accuracy and safety.

3. Enhanced Reliability: The precise crimping action secures the bullet firmly without deforming it, which is vital for maintaining bullet integrity and accuracy. This prevents bullet movement under recoil or during feeding cycles, leading to greater confidence and consistent performance for competitive shooters and hunters alike.

4. Ease of Use: This die features standard 7/8"-14 threads, making it universally compatible with most reloading presses on the market. Its user-friendly design allows for straightforward adjustments, enabling handloaders to quickly dial in the perfect crimp for their specific ammunition requirements.
