Lyman Pro Series Micrometer Taper Crimp Die - 6.5 Creedmoor

The Lyman Pro Series Micrometer Taper Crimp Die for 6.5 Creedmoor is purpose-built for reloaders who demand precision and repeatability in ammunition assembly. Designed specifically for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, this taper crimp die serves shooters from precision rifle competitors to long-range hunters who understand that consistent case mouth preparation directly impacts accuracy and reliability downrange. Taper crimping—as opposed to roll crimping—is the standard for bottleneck rifle cartridges, securing the bullet without deforming the case or altering chamber fit.

The micrometer adjustment mechanism allows fine-tuning of crimp depth in precise increments, eliminating the trial-and-error waste common with fixed dies. This controlled approach reduces bullet runout variation and minimizes pressure spread across a loading session—critical factors when working with modern powders and match-grade brass. The die's compact footprint (1.5 x 1.5 x 4.85 inches) and moderate weight (0.68 lbs) integrate seamlessly into standard progressive and single-stage press setups, and the robust construction ensures years of consistent performance through hundreds of loading cycles.

This die is ideal for handloaders committed to load development and ammunition optimization for the 6.5 Creedmoor—a cartridge that rewards precision and punishes careless assembly. Whether you're developing match ammunition for competition or crafting loads for extended-range hunting, the Lyman Pro Series Micrometer Taper Crimp Die accelerates your workflow while maintaining the tight tolerances necessary for reliable, accurate fire. Compatible with any standard reloading press using 7/8"-14 TPI threads, this die works in conjunction with your sizing die, powder measure, and bullet seating die to complete the 6.5 Creedmoor reloading process.
