Redding Carbide Pro Series Die Set for .45 ACP
The Redding Pro Series represents a thoughtful approach to progressive reloading, engineered specifically for shooters who demand precision and efficiency at the loading bench.
What's Included
- NxGEN Carbide Sizing Die: Advanced carbide construction eliminates the need for case lube, reducing prep time and mess while delivering consistent sizing.
- Specialized Seating Die: Features a large entry radius for smooth case feeding on progressive machines, designed without crimping capability to work seamlessly with dedicated crimping equipment.
- Dedicated Bullet Crimping Die: Separate crimping die allows precise control over crimp pressure independent of bullet seating depth.
Design Philosophy
This set omits an expander die because most progressive machines handle case mouth expansion at the powder drop station—a practical design choice that streamlines the reloading sequence. The large entry radius on the seating die ensures reliable case feeding, critical for the rapid cycling of progressive presses.
Versatility
While optimized for progressive machines, these dies work exceptionally well in single-stage presses. If you choose that route, simply purchase an expander die separately to complete your setup.
The Bottom Line
Redding's Pro Series delivers the precision and durability serious reloaders expect, with a design that respects how modern progressive machines actually work.
