Anybody know where I might find one of these unicorns at ? Or is taboo to FCD the 257? Help

All I crimp are handgun cartridges. Not sure but don't bullet seating dies for rifles have a built in crimp function if you want to use it?

yes, I just prefer Factory Crimp Dies. I have registered with Grafs in case they get any back in. It seemed to me that i heard or read that the bee creates a lot pressure fast and you do not want to spike it? IE crimping too much, bullets in the lands etc. It has a long freebore.

.375” of freebore. I’ve never crimped any loads in the5 that I’ve loaded for. Never had any issues or reason too
