    WTB: 9mm Taper Crimp Die for crimping 380 ACP

    I load pistol using a 4 hole Lee turret press. I am starting to load .380 ACP again and am using a Lee 3 die set. I like to seat and crimp in two separate operations so I'm looking for a 9mm taper crimp die to taper crimp the 380. Brand/Make doesn't matter as long as it is clean and smooth on the inside - it doesn't even need to have the seating stem if it had one originally - and if no die nut, I have a spare. Just need it to crimp the 380 after seating.

    Anyone have one laying around they would part with? Lee, Lyman,RCBS,CH, whatever as long as it will crimp well. Please PM.

    Thanks.

    Jim

    Yep, I know Lee dies are cheap and they work well - I posted as I thought that someone might have an old odd one laying around that they don't use that would be usable and cheap. Over the years, I've bought odd dies in lots to get one that I needed and then got rid of the rest to someone that had calibers they could use them on. If nothing shows up, I have a couple of things to order form Dennis at Titan and i'll add one on if nothing shows up.

    Thanks.
