The micrometer adjustable crimping dies incorporate a top-adjustment mechanism that allows for precise modifications. This design effectively addresses variations in case length and wall thickness, which can otherwise negatively impact proper adjustment. The adjustment of a traditional taper crimp die is inefficient and lacks precision due to the coarse 7/8-14 pitch die threads and frequent lock ring repositioning, critical for users of space-limited progressive reloading presses The top micrometer adjustable crimping dies feature a precision-engineered knurled micrometer barrel positioned atop the die, enabling seamless +/-0.10 inches real-time adjustments in precise 0.001 inches increments The adaptability of handgun dies is improved by reversing the internal crimping sleeve, allowing compatibility with two cartridges of similar body diameters Rifle cartridges are designed with a unidirectional configuration, ensuring they are non-reversible and must be inserted in the correct orientation to maintain optimal functionality and safety
