Looking for a Crimping Die Locally

Does anyone know of any stores in the clear lake or surrounding areas that would carry a crimping die for 9mm? Looking specifically for a Lee Factory Crimp die.
I got my dillon 550b yesterday and the manual says it's best to crimp in the 4th station and only seat in the 3rd. Hoping to find a place that has one so I can load some ammo before the IDPA match saturday.
Thanks

My Dillon dies came with a crimp die when I bought my 550b. If not order the Lee Factory Crimp die from midway. It's less than $15.00 plus shipping.

I went by T's and got the standard crimp die. No one has the factory crimp die. At least I can load ammo for this weekend while waiting a week for the factory die to get here.
Thanks for the replies.

Dustin after you get it set and going could you give us a review?
I'm wondering how much setup etc it takes to get a system up and going. (xmas to self)

Bailey's House of Guns carries Lee equipment.
I am not sure they have the die you want but they are local.
