The Redding 44 Special/Magnum Adjustable Profile Crimp Die brings precision and speed to handgun reloading. If you're working up loads for .44 Special or .44 Magnum and tired of wrestling with traditional crimp dies, this micrometer-adjustable design cuts setup time and dial-in frustration. The top-mounted micrometer adjustment lets you tweak your crimp on the fly—without repositioning a lock ring or backing the die out of your press—which matters whether you're loading on a single-stage or progressive setup in tight quarters.
Case-length and wall-thickness variables affect how a round seats and crimps. Standard profile crimps require coarse adjustments through 7/8-14 pitch threads, leading to hit-or-miss results and repeated trial-and-error cycling. This die's approach is different: fine-tune increments of .001" across a ±.100" range, so you dial in the exact crimp profile your loads need without constantly breaking down the die.
Redding's micrometer crimping dies are built for reloaders who demand consistency and don't want to waste brass or range time chasing an inconsistent crimp. The knurled barrel is easy to grip and turn, and because adjustment happens at the top, you maintain your press setup and workflow. Whether you're prepping defensive loads, hunting rounds, or match ammunition, this die pairs precision adjustment with the straightforward, proven results handgun reloaders have relied on Redding for.
| Caliber | .44 Special / .44 Magnum |
| Die Type | Adjustable Profile Crimp Die |
| Adjustment Range | Approximately ±.100" |
| Adjustment Increment | .001" |
| Adjustment Method | Top-mounted knurled micrometer barrel |
| Manufacturer | Redding |
Yes. The top-mounted micrometer design was developed specifically to work in progressive presses with tight spacing constraints, since you can adjust the crimp without repositioning the lock ring or removing the die from the press.
Standard profile crimp dies use coarse 7/8-14 pitch threads for adjustment, which makes fine-tuning difficult and requires you to reposition the lock ring with each change. The micrometer design lets you adjust in .001" increments across a ±.100" range with just a knurled knob—faster, more precise, and less disruptive to your press setup.
Yes, this die is designed for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum cartridges.
Variations in case length and wall thickness will both influence how the cartridge seats and crimps in the die. That's why the fine micrometer adjustment on this die is so valuable—it lets you dial in the exact profile your specific brass and loads require, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all setting.
