Redding Micrometer Adjusting Profile Crimp Dies for .38 Special/.357 Magnum and .44 SPC/.44 Mag virtually eliminate downtime and loss of production due to adjustment of the crimp, dramatically increasing the rounds per hour rate of all progressive and turret-style presses. Top adjustment means no need to remove the die and reposition the lock ring to set a proper crimp, as you must with other crimp dies. Knurled, micrometer-type head on top of the die provides plus or minus 0.001 of “on the fly” adjustment after initial setup. Innovative Free Floating internal sleeve of hardened steel forms the crimp. Die body thru holes are machined to very tight tolerances, providing a close-fitting lead into the die for maximum retention of finished round concentricity. MSRP $96.

Also comes with Zink’s competition-quality worn-in tone channel and laser-engraved flame graphics on a streamlined barrel and insert. MSRP $160. Contact: Zink Calls, Dept.
