The Redding Profile Crimp Die 38 Special / 357 Magnum for sale is a specialized reloading die designed to provide a firm, uniform crimp essential for revolver cartridges and heavy-recoiling loads. Manufactured by Redding, this crimp die is compatible with both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges and delivers a distinct profile-style crimp that enhances bullet retention and improves performance under pressure.
The Redding Profile Crimp Die is engineered to provide a two-step crimp that includes a partial roll crimp followed by a compression-style finish. This unique profile secures the bullet firmly in the case, helping to prevent bullet setback or creep under heavy recoil—especially important in revolvers or lever-action rifles where consistent ammunition performance is critical. The result is improved accuracy, uniform chamber pressure, and better ignition consistency.
Built from heat-treated steel and precision-machined to exacting tolerances, this die ensures repeatable results across large batches of reloads. It’s ideal for handloaders producing high-performance or heavy-recoil ammunition, and it works especially well with cast bullets or bullets with a crimp groove.
