Just wanted to let all you 404 Jeffery shooters know than the Lee Factory Crimp die for the 416 Rem does work with the 404 Jeffery.

I have only tried 2 dummy cases so far but will try again once I shoot up the ammo I have which was crimped with the Redding dies. Seems to work just like normal. Cases fit fine too.

I have was also told that you can even use it for the 416 Rigby if you feed it from the top! Very versatile die this one!!! & Cheap!

Regards

How do feed the 416 "from the top"? I guess I don't visualize your approach very well.

Lee made me a custom 404 Factory Crimp die back in 1999.

I think it was $25.

I'm also having trouble figuring out what you mean. Can you explain how this is done?

Just do it by "eye" feed the loaded but uncrimped round from the top - hold it there by hand & crimp.
