The Lee Collet Crimp Die in .44 Remington Magnum (Lee part no. 90930) applies a rifle-style collet crimp to straight-wall .44 Remington Magnum cases, giving hard-recoiling revolver loads a firmer hold on the bullet than a standard taper or roll crimp alone. Because the collet forms its own crimp as it closes around the case mouth, the bullet does not need a dedicated crimp groove machined into it, which is a real advantage for handloaders running heavy magnum loads where bullet pull under recoil is a genuine concern. This is not a carbide die, so cases should be lubricated per Lee’s standard instructions before running them through the press.
