A combination bullet seating and factory crimp die includes a collet
closing die, a crimping collet, a die cap, a seating lock, a bullet depth
adjustment screw and a trigger. The crimping collet is inserted into the
collet closing die. The trigger is placed in the collet closing die. The
bullet depth adjustment screw is threaded into the seating lock. The
seating lock is inserted into the die cap. The seating lock includes a
sear groove for receiving a C-ring sear. The collet closing die is
threaded into the die cap. A bullet seater is retained in the seating
lock. In use, a bullet on a mouth of a cartridge case is pushed into the
crimping collet. The bullet seater seats the bullet. The trigger pushes
the C-ring sear into the sear groove, which allows the mouth of the
cartridge to be crimped without moving the bullet.
