Product Description

The Mighty Armory 9mm Carbide TNT Taper Crimp Reloading die tapers the cartridge case back to SAAMI spec angle to match the sizing. Does not require case lube. 

The carbide TNT crimp die eliminates the need to lube your cases. The carbide is not a ring insert; the die has a full length bore in which the carbide is pressed into the die body under tension and to a stop wall. The bottom of the die is steel wrapped to ensure the pressed-in carbide barrel tension is held securely.

You will experience the ultimate strength and durability with Mighty Armory's Carbide Reloading Die Collection. 

Once the bullet is seated, the Carbide TNT Crimp Die will match SAAMI spec sizing to provide consistent and uniform tension around the circumference of the bullet. For the 9mm, average diameter to crimp the case is .376 to .379, which will prevent bullet setback.

After reloading your ammo with Mighty Armory, you will experience reliable cartridge feeding, and proper alignment and stability during firing.

The Carbide TNT Crimp reloading die body is machined from high-speed, heat-treated tool steel. 82 Rockwell micro-polished.

*No case lube is recommended on Carbide Reloading Dies

Popular Questions

What is the purpose of a taper crimp die?

The crimp die, which Mighty Armory also refers to as a "finishing die" is responsible for folding back the flare of the case into the bullet creating proper bullet tension and case sizing to SAAMI spec.

How do I know if I over crimped?

An over-crimped lead or plated bullet tells you it is unhappy by hurling patterns, not groups. This is a result of squashing the bullet. For bullets under 14 Burnell hardness, we recommend a crimp .001 over the typical crimp so the bullet does not get squashed yet there is enough tension to hold it properly. 

Can I use a taper crimp die for both semi-automatic pistol and revolver rounds?

A taper crimp is much more forgiving than roll crimp and doesn’t overwork the brass. Taper crimp is so versatile it can work on both.

What's the difference between a roll crimp and a taper crimp?

Roll crimp: Where the mouth of the case is physically rolled into the bullet’s cannelure. A roll crimp tends to overwork the brass and is typically considered to be an outdated technique. 

Taper crimp: Where the case mouth is left alone and the sidewalls are squeezed against the bullet to keep things in place. When used with a Mighty Armory reloading die set, the taper crimp finishes the round to SAAMI specifications.

Step 1: Turn the die into your press tool head with the case and bullet in the shell holder.

Step 2: Bring the tool head down over the bullet and snug it against the remaining flare. When it gets tight back it off a little.

Step 3: Raise the tool head and turn the die down ¼ of an inch. Then lock the die into place.

Step 4: If you would like a tighter crimp, turn the die down another ¼ turn.

You will now have a perfect SAAMI spec round.

Crimp measurements depend on bullet diameter:
9mm & 38 Super: Crimp to .376 to .378
.38 Special & .357 Magnum: Crimp to +.002 to .003
.40 S&W & 10mm: Crimp to .418 to .420
.45 ACP: Crimp to .468 to .470
