Redding Competition Seater Die 45 Colt, 454 Casull$113.39
Availability: In Stock
The Redding 45 Colt/454 Casull Carbide 3-Die Set is purpose-built for reloaders running progressive machines who want a no-fuss, hard-working die set for these magnum handgun cartridges. Redding's titanium carbide dies are engineered with the hardest readily available carbide surface, which means you can load case after case without the mess and downtime of constant lubrication. If you're serious about high-volume pistol reloading and tired of wrestling with sticky sizing dies, this set trades up for the slick, non-galling performance that keeps your workflow smooth.
The 3-die configuration is specifically designed for progressive press operation: you get a carbide sizing die for consistent case dimensions, a bullet seater (non-crimp type) for reliable bullet seating, and a dedicated crimp die for precise case mouth finishing. The critical detail: this set omits the expander die because progressive presses expand the case mouth at the powder metering station. That's a feature, not a gap—it's one less die cluttering your turret and one fewer step in your sequence.
Titanium carbide dies cost more than hardened steel, but the payoff is real. No sizing lubricant means cleaner brass, faster cleaning, and zero galling—the microscopic scoring that can shorten case life. Whether you're prepping thousands of rounds for competition, hunting, or stockpiling for magnum pistol shooting, this Redding set is the kind of equipment that pays for itself in saved time and longer case life.
| Product | Redding 45 Colt/454 Casull Carbide 3-Die Set |
| Cartridge | 45 Colt / 454 Casull |
| Die Material | Titanium Carbide |
| Die Count | 3 |
| Application | Progressive reloading machines |
| Dies Included | Sizing die, bullet seater (non-crimp), crimp die |
This set is specifically designed for progressive reloading machines. Because it lacks an expander die—relying instead on the powder metering station expansion—it is not optimized for single-stage or turret press operation. For those press types, a traditional 4-die set would be the better choice.
No. Titanium carbide's non-galling surface means you can size cases without lubrication. This saves cleanup time and eliminates a common source of case damage and extended case life.
This set is designed for both 45 Colt and 454 Casull cartridges. You will need to adjust and set up the dies appropriately for each cartridge when switching between them.
The set does not include an expander die, as progressive presses perform case mouth expansion at the powder metering station. It also does not include a powder measure, shell plate, or other press components—only the three dies themselves.
