The Lee Precision 90819 Factory Crimp Die is a single crimp die designed for reloading .243 Winchester rifle cartridges. This die uses a collet-style crimp to hold the bullet more firmly than conventional tools, and it can form a crimp groove where none exists. A firm factory crimp raises the bullet start pressure, which helps produce a more uniform pressure curve and reduced velocity variation in handloads.
