Unlike modern powders, black powder requires constant compression to ensure effective ignition. This implies holding the projectile firmly without risking deformation, especially with bullets made of pure lead or lubricated with traditional grease.

Progressive conical crimping

This taper crimp die applies gentle, even pressure to the case neck. It provides sufficient tension to hold the bullet during transport or in the chamber, without marking or excessively compressing the projectile.

Universal compatibility

The tool can be mounted on any press with a 7/8x14 thread . It is suitable for classic calibers used with black powder, including long cartridges such as Sharps, Spencer or .45-70 Government.

Optimizing shooting accuracy

Proper crimping is essential to reduce pressure variations and ensure even combustion. This model promotes better repeatability of performance in black powder target shooting.
