Precision-engineered straight-line seating die with air-floating stem and micrometer adjustment in .001" increments. State-of-the-art concentricity control for competition-grade ammunition.
The Redding Competition Seating Die represents the pinnacle of straight-line bullet seating technology. This is not merely another seating die—it is a precision instrument designed to solve the concentricity problems that plague conventional seating dies.
Redding has engineered this die with tolerances so exacting that the seating stem actually floats on a column of air. The bullet guide and seating stem fit with such precision that no other seating die on the market approaches this level of engineering. The seating stem itself is precision ground to match bullet diameter exactly, eliminating the wobble and misalignment common in standard dies.
Both the cartridge case and bullet are completely supported and aligned in a close-fitting, precision-ground sleeve before seating begins. This dual-support system ensures that every round achieves maximum concentricity—critical for consistent accuracy at distance.
This die is not suitable for use with compressed loads. Verify your load data before proceeding.
