I need some assistance in understanding what a Lee Factory Crimp Die will do for reloading my 40SW bullets. What does it actually accomplish over a Dillon 550 crimp die. I saw the threads on 45acp, just want some 40SW specifics and experiences.
Thanks in advance! |

Ensures a case will fit a 'standard' chamber.
Highly recommend. ------------------ "All my ammo is factory ammo" |

I have fired about 800-1000 reloads through my HK-USP40C and have not had one single hiccup ... Not a very good test since 100% of my loads go through the factory crimp die. At times I do feel some significant resistance which is probably a signal that it is fixing (resizing) some sort of problem. FYI ... Lee sells their "seconds" (with external scratches or something silly like that) at a discount. Just call and ask.
