Dies, 9mm

Post by **Niceguy** » Thu Nov 21, 2013 10:55 am

Where is a good place to buy 9mm dies for Lee single stage? Do brand options matter and if they do, what should I get? Are there any other pieces to go along with die sets that don't come with them also? I think that is the last thing I need to get started.

Lee Carbide dies will do just fine.

Midwayusa ?

That's where I got my Lee's.
They were on back order but only took two weeks to come in after order was placed.

They have 3 and 4 piece sets. Looks like crimp die is the 4th piece. Is that a good idea to have and what's the difference in "factory crimp" and "taper crimp"?

I just use the taper crimp or 3 piece dies on my 9mm.

I have the 4 die set and its not neccessary for the factory crimp die in my opinion

Cool. I ordered the Lee 3 piece carbide set from Midway last night.

I use the factory crimp die rather than the taper. Being that 9mm head spaces off the case mouth i prefer the factory crimp method of squeezing the case onto the bullet rather than bending the mouth in. Will it make a difference? Probably not seeing millions are reloaded every year with a taper crimp. It's just my preference
