I have a Lee die body. The top 3/8" or so is knurled. the marks on it are Lee-9MM-C4. The top of the die internally is not threaded, it is smooth. What would this have beeen used for?
Thanks.

Powder thru expanding die

Thanks for the reply.
Lee powder dies I have seen have an aluminum cup that screws into the top of the die. How would this one work?

When I was using it on the single stage I was rising the shell and then I had a funnel on top that I poured powder from the beam scale. Then sat them in the other tray.
It was for a friend's cast flat nose that we didn't like. But, we tried.

Sounds like the dedicated taper crimp die. Have one for 45acp.

Good Thread
I inherited a small tub of Lee dies that I cannot figure out what they do. Lee designs work but better identity would really help.
Brother - I would agree with screen - it sounds like it is thebsame as the Lee dedicated 9mmtaper crimp die that I have. I bought mine years ago when Started reloading because I thoughtI "needed" it. It turned out that with the set of 9mm dies I bought I didn't so it sat in a box for a while. Funny thing though - I have ended up using the die quite a few times when I have loaded other cartridges - one I use it on is when I load 38 Colt Short with cast - the (mm taper crimp is just the huckleberry to put a taper crimp on that cartridge since I don't have a roll crimp die that will work on the short casing.
Good info. Thanks.I have sometimes substituted dies to do jobs for other calibers. Right now I am looking for my 9MM Luger neck expanding die.
