Redding’s 31286 Micrometer Adjustable Crimping Die for 44 SPECIAL/MAGNUM features top-mounted adjustment with a knurled micrometer barrel that delivers approximately ± .100″ of “on-the-fly” adjustment in .001″ increments. The micrometer design accounts for variations in case length and wall thickness that can interfere with proper adjustment, making it well-suited for progressive presses operating in confined spaces.
Profile crimp dies deliver a tighter, more uniform roll type crimp, and this handgun cartridge die was engineered for shooters seeking optimal crimp quality. The internal crimping sleeve is reversible to accommodate two different cartridges with closely related body diameters, enhancing versatility. This design eliminates the imprecision of traditional dies by removing the need to reposition lock rings and adjust via coarse die threads.
