Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die .30/40 Krag

The Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die .30/40 Krag is a precision reloading tool engineered for shooters who demand consistent, factory-quality ammunition every time. Purpose-built for the .30/40 Krag cartridge—a vintage military round favored by collectors and competition shooters—this die addresses a critical gap in modern reloading by ensuring proper case mouth crimping and sizing in a single operation. Reloaders working with older military calibers or those seeking to match factory specifications will find this tool indispensable for achieving reliable chamber fit and consistent ballistics.

At its core, the Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die features a carbide sizer that simultaneously post-sizes rifle cartridges while applying a crimp to the case mouth. This dual-function design guarantees that every reloaded round will chamber freely, matching the tolerances you'd expect from factory ammunition straight out of the box. The carbide construction provides superior durability and reduces required maintenance compared to traditional steel dies, while the integrated design accommodates a wide range of ammunition—including jacketed bullets—without requiring separate equipment or multiple pass-throughs. The compact footprint of 3.4 x 1.1 x 4.7 inches makes it a practical addition to any reloading bench setup.

This die is ideal for precision rifle reloaders, military firearms enthusiasts, and shooters committed to reviving accurate ammunition for heritage calibers. Whether you're preparing rounds for a Krag-Jørgensen rifle destined for the range or competition, the Lee Factory Rifle Crimp Die eliminates the guesswork from handload quality control. Compatibility with standard Lee reloading presses ensures seamless integration into existing setups, and the straightforward crimping process reduces the learning curve for reloaders new to this particular cartridge. At 0.39 lbs, it ships easily and stores conveniently alongside your other precision reloading equipment.
