We should mention that there is a difference between the Lee rifle factory crimp die and the pistol versions. The Rifle die crimps by squeezing a collet on the case mouth. The pistol dies operate in the same manner as other roll or taper crimps with the exception of the Redding profile (roll) crimper for revolver cases.
