Description

This lot features a collection of three Lee Precision, Inc. Factory Crimp Dies, essential tools for the precision ammunition reloader. The set includes dies for three distinct calibers: 300 Ultra Magnum (Model 90970), 444 Marlin (Model 90855), and 30/06 Springfield (Model 90824). Each die is manufactured from high-strength steel with a standard threaded body, a hexagonal lock nut for secure positioning, and a knurled top for fine adjustment. These tools utilize a collet-style crimp that mimics factory ammunition specifications, designed to improve accuracy by ensuring consistent bullet tension regardless of case trim length. The packaging displays the Lee brand logo and references U.S. Patent number 5,079,986, which was granted in 1992. Each die is housed in its original translucent red plastic storage case with factory inserts and UPC barcodes. Individual case measurements are approximately 4 inches by 3 inches by 1.5 inches.
