35 Whelen; which Lee Crimp Die?
AR reloader,

I would like to crimp my 35 Whelen loads that I'm taking to Africa in September. I've used the Lee crimp die with success on my 375 H&H loads. I don't find a Lee crimp die listed for the 35 Whelen only for 35 Remington and 356/358 Winchester.

Does anyone have a suggestion or solution?

I recently special ordered a factory crimp die for my whelen directly from Lee. It took about 6 weeks from the time I mailed my check along with a dummy cartridge. Just check out Lee's website and all the ordering information is listed.

Hey Guys,
I have the LEE Breech lock kit and I started reloading the 35 Whelen.
But I have RCBS Whelen Dies. It’s a two die set that has a resizer-decapper, and a seater die that also crimps.
The RCBS is made very well.
All my other Dies are Lee.

Just want to help if I could.
Regards,
