Redding Micro-Adjustable Taper Crimp Die 308
$82.80
The Redding Micro-Adjustable Taper Crimp Die for .308 Winchester is built for reloaders who demand precision and efficiency at the bench. Unlike standard crimp dies that force you to remove the die from your press every time you need to dial in the crimp, this top-adjusting design lets you fine-tune your bullet seating and crimp without breaking down your setup. If you're running a progressive press or turning out high-volume rifle ammunition, the ability to tweak your crimp on the fly—without dismantling anything—saves real time and keeps your process flowing.
At the heart of this die is Redding's knurled micrometer-type adjustment barrel, which gives you approximately ±.100" of crimp adjustment range after your initial setup. This precision means no more guesswork about whether your crimp is exactly where it needs to be. You can test your round, see the result, and make a small adjustment right there in the press. The internal hardened steel sleeve performs the actual crimp work and is engineered with a double-ended design—one specific taper on each end. That means you can flip the sleeve to crimp a second, related-size cartridge, adding versatility to your reloading kit without buying a second die.
Whether you're a precision rifle competitor fine-tuning every round or a hunter who demands consistent ammunition, this die rewards attention to detail with cartridges that chamber reliably and perform predictably downrange.
