Lee Factory Crimp Die 303 British 90826

Crimp Lee 303 British Factory The bullet is crimped in place more tightly by the die than by any other tool. Even bullets without a crimp groove have been shown to fire more accurately in tests. Because pressure must rise to a higher level before the bullet moves, a strong crimp enhances accuracy. A more uniform pressure curve and less velocity variation are ensured by the greater start pressure.
