Redding Profile Crimp Die .45-70 FTX Product description

  1. Specialized Profile Crimp: This die employs a unique profile crimping action specifically designed to match the contour of Hornady FTX bullets, ensuring a superior hold that prevents bullet setback, especially critical for tubular magazines and recoil-heavy loads. It improves feeding reliability and maintains critical overall length (OAL).

  2. Precision Engineering: Manufactured in the USA, Redding dies are known for their exceptional precision. This die is CNC-machined from robust steel and heat-treated to ensure maximum durability and consistent, repeatable performance, shot after shot. The internal surfaces are polished to minimize friction and brass wear.

  3. Enhanced Reliability: By providing a perfectly formed profile crimp, this die significantly enhances the consistency of your reloads. It ensures that the bullet remains securely seated, which is vital for safe operation and optimal ballistic performance in both hunting and sport shooting scenarios.

  4. Hunters' Choice: Tailored for the specific needs of .45-70 FTX ammunition, this die is a favorite among hunters who demand absolute reliability and precision from their heavy-hitting loads. It's an indispensable tool for handloaders focused on crafting high-performance, consistent ammunition for the field.

ABOUT THE REDDING PROFILE CRIMP DIE .45-70 FTX

The Redding Profile Crimp Die for .45-70 FTX is a specialized tool engineered to provide a precise and consistent crimp for cartridges loaded with Hornady FTX bullets, particularly in the .45-70 Government caliber. Unlike standard roll or taper crimp dies, this profile crimp die shapes the case mouth to match the unique bullet ogive of FTX bullets, ensuring optimal bullet retention and preventing bullet setback into the case, which is critical for lever-action rifles and high-recoil applications. This specialized crimping action enhances feeding reliability and maintains consistent overall length (OAL) through the magazine tube, leading to improved accuracy and safety. Constructed from durable, heat-treated steel, this die is designed for longevity and consistent performance, catering to discerning handloaders, hunters, and sport shooters who demand unparalleled precision and reliability from their ammunition. It's an essential component for achieving factory-like ammunition quality with FTX bullet designs.
