RCBS Taper Crimp Die Features The RCBS Taper Crimp Die combines two reloading steps into one seating the bullet to the correct depth while simultaneously applying a taper crimp to secure it in place. This dual function saves time on the reloading bench and reduces the number of separate die stations needed in a press setup. A taper crimp is particularly well suited to .44 Mag loads fired through revolvers since it avoids excessive case mouth deformation while still holding the bullet firmly against the pressures generated during firing. Consistent crimping is critical to accuracy and reliable ignition since a loose crimp can allow bullet movement under recoil that changes the effective powder charge in adjacent chambers. RCBS has built reloading dies for decades and this crimp die reflects that experience in its precise machining and repeatable results. Handloaders working up loads for hunting target shooting or general practice in .44 Mag will find this die a straightforward addition to their reloading setup. This Taper Crimp Die is a practical tool for anyone looking to produce consistent dependable handloaded ammunition.
