The Hornady Expander Taper Crimp Die, .30 Super Carry (brand part no. 045508) removes the case-mouth flare left by the expander die and crimps the case mouth around the bullet for .30 Super Carry, a cartridge that headspaces on the case mouth rather than the shoulder. Maintaining a sharp, well-defined edge at the case mouth during crimping is what keeps headspace correct in a semi-automatic handgun chamber, and this die is built to hold that edge while still improving how reloaded rounds feed. The crimp amount is user-adjustable through the die’s seater and crimp adjustment screws, so a handloader can dial in exactly the crimp a particular bullet and load combination needs.
