The Redding .223 Remington Bullet Seating Die with Built-In Crimp (MPN: 92111) is a Series A conventional seating die manufactured from precision-machined, heat-treated alloy steel with polished internal surfaces. Designed for loading .223 Remington cartridges using standard .224" diameter projectiles, it seats bullets to a specific Cartridge Overall Length (COAL) while offering an internal roll crimp. Handloaders can also adjust the die body and seating stem to seat bullets without crimping. Measuring approximately 69.85 mm (2.75 inches) in length, this purely mechanical tool mounts to standard reloading presses via an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch.

Key Features

• Dual Seating and Crimping: Seats .224" diameter projectiles to the desired Cartridge Overall Length and applies an integrated roll crimp, or can be adjusted to seat without crimping by backing off the die body.
• Internal Bullet Alignment: Features an integrated bullet guide and hand-polished interior surfaces to ensure smooth cartridge entry, reduce bullet runout, and protect brass from scratching or galling.
• Standard Press Interface: Equipped with an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch and a locking ring, ensuring compatibility with single-stage and progressive reloading presses.
• Heat-Treated Alloy Steel: Precision-machined from durable alloy steel for dimensional consistency across high-volume reloading sessions.

Who is the Redding 92111 223 Remington Bullet Seating Die With Built-In Crimp for?

• Handloaders loading .223 Remington rounds for varmint and pest control — Seats standard hunting projectiles ranging from 40 gr to 77 gr while applying an integrated roll crimp to secure cannelured bullets against recoil in the field.
• Reloaders setting up single-stage or progressive presses — Mounts directly into any press featuring a standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch, utilizing precision-machined steel to seat .223 Remington projectiles with minimal concentric runout.

Less suitable for: Long, high-BC bullets weighing 80 gr to 90 gr (or exceeding 2.600" to 2.700" COAL) where standard seating stems mark the ogive, which require an optional VLD seating plug or a dedicated micrometer competition seating die; additionally, non-cannelured match bullets requiring neck tension without jacket deformation are better served by a dedicated taper crimp die.
