	I like the "short" Lyman .40 die for the 40-70/40-65, But I would like to find a "long" version for the 2.4 and longer cases. Lyman does make the short and long for the .45 cal's. Yes I know the short die will, and does work for 2.4 and some longer cases but you start running out of threads on the die body. Any sources? I use this type of die to remove the case flare only. thanks kw

	KW, May be a bit off here, but I set up another press with a sizing die so it gives me the crimp or means of reducing the flare. I use an open or c-frame Pacific... Greg

	Greg Been sorta doing that, but my 40-82 silhouette sizing die is slighty tighter in the neck area than the Lyman taper crimp with its gentle lead in. Was hoping I missed a source offering a longer version of the 40-65. And then there is the 40-85's and 40-90's too. A taper die is nice to have for the paper patch game too. kim

	If nothing else turns up, maybe a "window riser" from KM precision, under neck expanding, is an option? It can be handy to have around to help use unrelated dies for some forming or sizing.

	KW, Have a .40 cal. Lyman taper crimp die, works well, not for sale. Have made a .38 cal. taper crimp die (.38-50) using a hardware store taper reamer. Also works well. Will send pictures if it would be useful. Could be made in any caliber. Chuck

	Chuck Kinda figured it would come down to making a die, got a bunch made for previous needs. You would think there would be a source, there are plenty of "long" .40's out there. Oh well back to the lathe then. kim

	My die holder has a fairly simple, replaceable taper crimp die. Die can be make for any caliber. Could also be replaced with neck sizing dies if required. Chuck

	I use a die for 10mm/40cal pistol. Have to look to see if it is a "crimp" die or just a sizer. Smooth long taper.

	Cat, do you crimp by feel or set the die to go to the end of the throw of the lever? Tom
