Palmer's Review of Hornady Taper Crimp Dies

I have the 10mm/40 cal caliber seating die #044178 for seating bullets in my 40S&W rounds. It will work for 10mm as well. Bullet alignment is perfect as advertised which is a great reason to use these. I don’t need to manually align the bullet so I’m not getting bit by the press anymore, which is another reason to use these.
This die came with a flat nose seating stem and a round nose seating stem. Adjusting seating depth is simple and the locknut provides a solid fix against the rubber washer with no tools required. This die will also crimp your case if desired, or you can seat only. Setup requires a few steps but the instructions from Hornady are clear. Hornady’s engineering is clever and you can easily adjust crimp pressure without having to reset bullet seating depth. There is no backlash in the adjustments after you snug down the locknut. In summary, this die does everything Hornady says it does.
In addition to the 40 seat& crimp die, I have the Hornady seat dies for 38 cal and 30-30 Winchester. They are all fantastic. They all came with spare clips so I am impressed.
No more seating does from the Cheapie guys for me.
