Interchanging Factory Crimp Dies

Interchanging Factory Crimp Dies

Factory Crimp Dies are cartridge specific. The only way in which one caliber can be used for another is if the two calibers share bullet diameter and trim length exactly. Factory Crimp dies generally use about .050 of the case to apply the crimp so any difference in the trim length between the cartridges comes off that amount.
