Title: .38 Special Taper Crimp Die
Post by: JLK on April 06, 2010, 07:48:18 pm

I've had my Star reloader since about 1977. 
I have been in and out of competitive bullseye shooting over the years so
I have a .45 ACP and .38 Special tool head. 
Somehow, over the years I missed getting a taper crimp die for the .38.
I found Dave Wilson on this forum and ordered one.
Got it today.
I couldn't be happier!
It's beautifully done and looks great.
Thanks Dave!

Guys,
What's the conesensus re TC the 38 spec? Is there much to be gained?

I usnd old Prog for my 38's. Dave Wilson can you supply a die? If so what would the cost be?

PM the $$ if you prefer.
Thanks,
Ron

Greetings,

The taper crimp die provides a gentle reduction of the case mouth as opposed to the roll crimp. This is good as it helps the brass to last longer, (avoids mouth cracks)

Contact me off line as I make short runs of dies in my spare time.

Cheers,

Dave Wilson
