The Hornady 9mm Luger Crimp Seating Die (Hornady part no. 044177) is a crimp seating die for 9mm Luger brass. Made by Hornady, a longtime staple on the reloading bench of handloaders who work up their own precision ammunition. This die is machined to fit standard reloading press threads and drops straight into your existing die set for 9mm Luger cases. Handloaders sizing, expanding, seating, or crimping 9mm Luger brass for hunting, competition, or range practice rely on dies like this one for round-to-round consistency that factory ammunition can’t always match. It’s built for the reloading bench, not the range bag, and belongs in the toolbox of anyone loading their own 9mm Luger ammunition.

• Precision-machined steel construction holds tight tolerances through years of repeated reloading sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this crimp seating die do? Seats the bullet and applies a crimp to the case mouth in one station, saving a step on turret and progressive presses.

Do I still need a separate crimp die? No, this die seats the bullet and applies the crimp together in one station, which is why it’s a popular choice on presses with limited die stations.
