Wild Will Bartell Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm expanding the horizons of my Win. mod. 94. I was lucky enough to find a used 2-die set for said caliber, so all I need is a crimping die, preferably a Lee Factory Crimp Die. I would consider others, but prefer the Lee. I've exhausted all my known resources online, so if any of you cowboys have something that would help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Mudflat Mike, SASS #20904 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Usually the seater die on a rifle set is also the crimp die. Rifle die sets usually only have 2 dies if they're bottle neck cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Will Bartell Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Mike, You're correct about this, however I'm told that the crimp is a taper crimp, which is not desirable for rounds to be used in a tubular magazine. If your experience is different, than I'd appreciate it if you could set me straight. Thanks. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Will Bartell Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 I found the Lee Auto Prime shell holder at an obscure LGS. I've edited my original post to reflect this. Thanks. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWB You might be looking for the collet crimp die, this will apply a firm crimp to any style bullet, cannelure or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Will Bartell Posted February 14, 2021 Author Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yes sir, that's exactly what the Lee die is. I have one for my 45-70, and it works very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
