Redding Carbide Pro Series Die Set for .38 Special/.357 Magnum
Redding's Pro Series represents a thoughtful approach to progressive reloading, engineered specifically for the demands of high-volume ammunition production. This carbide die set streamlines your workflow by eliminating redundant operations common to progressive machines.
What's Included
- NxGEN Carbide Sizing Die — Precision-engineered for consistent case sizing with the durability of carbide construction
- Seating Die with Large Entry Radius — Designed for smooth case feeding without bullet crimping capability, allowing your progressive machine's powder drop station to handle case mouth expansion
- Specialized Bullet Crimping Die — Dedicated crimping station for precise, uniform crimp control
Design Philosophy
This set eliminates the traditional expander die because most progressive machines already expand the case mouth at the powder drop station. This streamlined approach reduces redundant operations and improves efficiency on your progressive press.
Versatility
While optimized for progressive machines, Pro Series die sets perform exceptionally well with single-stage presses. If you plan to use this set on a single-stage press, you'll need to purchase an expander die separately to handle case mouth expansion.
The Carbide Advantage
Carbide construction means faster reloading cycles, reduced lubrication requirements, and extended die life—a smart investment for serious handloaders.
