The Lee Precision 91890 carbide factory crimp die is built for reloaders working up consistent, reliable 30 Super Carry handgun ammunition. Unlike standard sizing dies, a factory crimp die applies crimp and sizing in one stroke, mimicking commercial ammunition quality and ensuring every round chambers smoothly and fires predictably. If you're serious about 30 Super Carry loads—especially with magnum powders that demand a firm, consistent crimp for reliable ignition—this die eliminates variables that lead to feeding issues and misfires.
The adjustable crimp system lets you dial in exactly the amount of pressure you need; there's no guesswork, and you can fine-tune based on your specific brass and bullet combination. Because the die works without requiring case lube, you skip the prep step of lubricating every piece of brass. That saves time and mess, and the carbide ring inside the die handles thousands of rounds without the wear that steel dies experience.
Lee's design philosophy keeps things straightforward: trim length becomes non-critical, so you're not spending extra time trimming and chamfering cases before they enter the die. That efficiency matters when you're running volume through a press. If you're reloading 30 Super Carry and want ammunition that feeds and fires like factory-loaded rounds, this crimp die is a workhorse addition to your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to use case lube with this carbide die?
No. Carbide dies don't require case lube, which eliminates that step from your prep workflow and keeps your brass and press cleaner.
Will this die work with my single-stage or progressive press?
The Lee Precision 91890 is a standard .500" diameter die that fits any single-stage, turret, or progressive press with standard toolheads. Verify your press accepts standard dies before purchasing.
What's the benefit of a factory crimp die over a standard sizing die?
A factory crimp die sizes and crimps in one operation, creating ammunition with factory-like consistency and reliability. This is especially valuable for magnum powders, which require a firm, dependable crimp for consistent ignition and accuracy.
Do I still need to trim cases when using this die?
Trim length is not critical for this die's operation, so you can reduce or skip trimming altogether. This saves time on case prep while maintaining reliable feeding and performance.
