Lee Factory crimp dies - straight wall pistol caliber

Post by Ohio3Wheels »

Do all of these and the 45 Colt in particular have the carbide sizer to "iron" the case as they crimp?

Never mind just found the answer - Yes

The dies that you are describing are the Lee Handgun Carbide Factory Crimp Dies. They also offer Handgun Collet Style Factory Crimp Dies. The later works well for large, over diameter cast bullets that you don't want to pass through the sizing ring.
