The Redding Profile Crimp Die for .44 Special and .44 Magnum provides a consistent roll-type crimp intended for handgun reloading. It is designed for cartridges that do not headspace on the case mouth and requires bullets to be seated to their final depth before crimping. The profile crimp form was developed to address the common half-moon crimp seen with magnum handgun cartridges and to improve group consistency.
