The Hornady Taper Crimp Die for .40 S&W and 10mm is a purpose-built handgun reloading die designed to finish-crimp auto-loading pistol ammunition with precision. If you're running a Hornady Series II 3-die pistol die set and want to add a dedicated taper crimp station, or if you're building a custom reloading setup for semi-automatic cartridges, this die delivers the controlled, uniform crimp that keeps rounds feeding and chambering reliably through your firearms.

Taper crimping is different from roll crimping—it applies pressure along a tapered surface rather than rolling the case mouth inward. This approach is gentler on the case neck and is the standard for pistol ammunition, especially in .40 S&W and 10mm where consistent function is critical. Hornady's Custom Grade New Dimension dies are machined from quality steel built to handle repeated reloading sessions without wear or drift.

This die works as a standalone addition to your existing Hornady 3-die set or as part of a larger press setup. Whether you're a competitive shooter loading for accuracy, a hunter handloading for a legacy pistol, or someone who shoots .40 or 10mm regularly, a dedicated taper crimp die ensures your ammunition functions the way it should—every round.
