Lee 416 Rem Factory Crimp does work with 404 Jeffery
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!

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.
