Precision-engineered straight-line seating die with air-floating stem technology and micrometer adjustment in .001" increments. Built to tighter tolerances than competing designs for superior concentricity and consistency.
The Redding Competition Seating Die represents the current standard in straight-line bullet seating technology. This is not incremental improvement—it's a fundamental advancement in how precision reloaders approach bullet seating.
The core innovation lies in the seating stem system. Redding's precision engineering allows the seating stem to literally float on a column of air, eliminating the binding and concentricity problems that plague conventional seating dies. The stem is precision ground to match exact bullet diameter, and the bullet guide-to-seating stem fit is so precise that no other seating die on the market approaches this level of manufacturing control.
Before seating begins, both the cartridge case and bullet are completely supported and aligned in a close-fitting, precision-ground sleeve. This dual-support system ensures that every round receives identical treatment, shot after shot.
This die is not recommended for use with compressed loads. For standard and magnum rifle cartridges, it delivers the precision that competition shooters and serious handloaders demand.
When concentricity matters and consistency is non-negotiable, the Redding Competition Seating Die is the choice of discerning reloaders.
