Lee taper crimp dies what were needed - Lee Taper Crimp Die For 9MM/38 Super/380 ACP/38 ACP 90780

DAT's Review of Lee Taper Crimp Die For 9MM/38 Super/380 ACP/38 ACP 90780
Began handloading 380ACP and 9mm cartridges and had multiple jams - especially with the 380ACP. Thought it was cartridge length, but several different lengths did not solve the problem. Discovered that the standard 3 die pistol die sets did not allow proper bullet seating depth and case crimp without deforming the bullet. If I backed off of the crimp setting on the 3rd die to not deform the bullet, a shoulder remained on the case which caused all of the jamming and malfunctions of the cartridges. Solution was to set bullet depth with the 3rd die, back off on the crimp altogether and then case crimp with Lee Taper Crimp Dies on the 4th station. Worked beautifully and now have desired quantities of reliable 380ACP and 9mm stock.
Pros:
Allows more precise settings
Cons:
Don't like the supplied mounting nut/O-ring setup. Substituted standard mounting Nut.
Best Used for:
Semi-Auto Pistol cartridges. I did not need for revolver cartridges.
Would Recommend:
Yes
