Redding Taper Crimp Die for Straight Wall Cases .24 Nosler

The Redding Taper Crimp Die for Straight Wall Cases .24 Nosler (Model 85320) is a precision reloading tool engineered for handloaders who demand uniformity and consistent bullet seating without compromise to cartridge overall length. Unlike conventional roll crimping, taper crimping applies gradual radial pressure that gently yet securely locks the bullet in place, making it the preferred method for straight-wall rifle cartridges like the .24 Nosler where headspace control is critical.

Constructed from hardened steel, this die delivers the precision and durability expected from Redding Reloading Equipment. The taper crimp process eliminates the stress concentrations associated with roll crimping, reducing the risk of case neck splitting and extending case life across multiple reloading cycles. For reloaders working with .24 Nosler ammunition, this die ensures repeatable crimp pressure that enhances bullet retention while maintaining SAAMI-compliant cartridge dimensions. The compact design (measuring 2.35 x 1.7 x 5.25 inches and weighing 0.43 lbs) fits standard reloading press mounting configurations.

This taper crimp die is intended for serious reloaders who prioritize ammunition consistency and case longevity. It is particularly valuable for precision rifle shooters, handloaders working with performance cartridges, and those who reload for the modern .24 Nosler platform. Taper crimping is preferred over roll crimping in rifle ammunition production because it allows proper bullet seating depth without excessive case neck pressure, critical for cartridges like the .24 Nosler that utilize straight walls and demand exacting tolerances. The Redding Model 85320 is a standalone die suited for use within a complete reloading press setup.
