Lee 90785 Taper Crimp Die for .45 ACP Pistol Reloading

Lee Precision 90785 Taper Crimp Die 45 Auto Rim / 45 Schofield / 455 Web Mark / 2/45 Win Mag

The Lee 90785 Taper Crimp Die is designed for .45 ACP pistol cartridge reloading, helping create a consistent crimp that supports reliable feeding and dependable cartridge performance. Constructed from hardened steel, this dedicated crimp die is engineered to address crimping problems that can result from less effective die designs. Its taper crimp configuration applies controlled pressure around the case mouth without relying on a pronounced roll crimp, making it well suited to rimless pistol cartridges such as .45 ACP.
This Lee taper crimp pistol die is intended for reloaders who want to separate the crimping operation from other sizing and seating steps. Using a separate crimp die can help produce uniform ammunition when bullet seating adjustments and crimp adjustments need to be controlled independently. The die is supplied as a single crimp die and is compatible with standard reloading press setups that accept the appropriate die format for .45 ACP pistol cartridges.
The Lee 90785 offers little or no additional advantage when used with Lee dies manufactured in 1986 or later, because those dies already incorporate a modified taper crimp angle. For proper results, jacketed bullets used with this die must have a crimp groove. Follow established reloading procedures, use suitable components, and verify cartridge dimensions and function according to trusted loading data and equipment instructions. Whether used for maintaining a dedicated .45 ACP reloading setup or fine-tuning crimp consistency, this hardened-steel Lee die provides a practical solution for controlled pistol cartridge crimping.
