Lee Precision has been developing reloading equipment since 1958. The American brand offers presses, tool sets, crimpers, case preparation equipment and accessories for various reloading operations.
The Lee Precision Factory Crimp Die Collet .44 Mag/.44 Special uses a crimping collar to apply a rifle-style crimp to the case. Its design allows for crimping projectiles without a pre-existing groove, as the collar itself can create one. This is a solution specifically designed for cartridges known to be difficult to crimp.
This Factory Crimp Die Lee Precision uses a neck crimping system . This principle allows for a rifle-style crimp to be applied to the case, an architecture chosen by the manufacturer for these cartridges, which are considered difficult to crimp with conventional methods.
The unique technical feature of the neck lies in the force it can apply during crimping. A pre-existing crimping groove on the projectile is therefore unnecessary: according to Lee Precision, the neck is capable of forming one during the crimping process. This means reloaders are not limited to projectiles that already possess this characteristic.
The manufacturer lists this tool for .44 Magnum and .44 Smith & Wesson Special cartridges. This dual compatibility allows the same crimping tool to be used in reloading equipment designed for both cartridges.
Lee Precision explicitly states that this collared version is not made of carbide. This detail helps to clearly identify it within the range, which also includes other Factory Crimp Die variants based on different designs and crimping methods.
The neck is strong enough to form its own groove during crimping. Therefore, the projectile does not need to already have a dedicated groove, which distinguishes this design from systems that require this feature on the bullet.
Reference 90930 uses a collar and is not carbide-tipped. The Factory Crimp Die 90863, on the other hand, is a carbide-tipped model that uses a roll crimp and also performs cartridge resizing during the crimping process. These are therefore two distinct designs within the Lee Precision line.
