Redding .224 Valkyrie Taper Crimp Die

The Redding Taper Crimp Die for .224 Valkyrie (Redding part no. 85387) applies a taper crimp instead of a roll crimp, built for cartridges that headspace on the case mouth where a roll crimp would interfere with proper chambering. Redding machines this die to the same high standard as the rest of its reloading die line, and it is equally useful for flush-seated wadcutters or cast bullets that have no crimping groove or cannelure to roll a crimp into.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a taper crimp instead of a roll crimp? Cartridges that headspace on the case mouth need the mouth to stay a consistent, uniform diameter, and a roll crimp can interfere with that; a taper crimp avoids the problem.

Can this die be used with bullets that have no cannelure? Yes, a taper crimp works on flush-seated wadcutters and cast bullets that have no crimping groove for a roll crimp to bite into.
