The Redding Premium Handgun Die Set for .45 ACP is a three-die reloading system built for shooters who demand tight tolerances and consistent ammunition. Whether you're handloading rounds for IPSC, defensive carry, or general range work, this set combines proven Redding engineering with premium materials to deliver uniform results shot after shot. The .45 ACP is a straight-wall case, and this set is specifically designed to handle its geometry—something generic universal die sets often compromise on.
This is a working reloader's setup. The carbide-sizing die handles the initial prep work, while the expander die does the real precision lifting. Redding's expander plug features a TiN (titanium nitride) coating that hardens the surface and improves lubricity, reducing brass buildup—a real quality-of-life improvement if you're pushing volume through your press. The expander's geometry is thoughtfully engineered: a radiused base eases entry into the case mouth, a parallel section expands and trues the case internally for a perfect bullet seat, a small step aligns the bullet with the cartridge's centerline, and a final flare opens the case mouth to prevent lead shaving when seating cast bullets.
The seating die includes a bullet seating micrometer for repeatable depth control and incorporates a roll crimp (appropriate for the .45 ACP). All three dies feature an enhanced lead-in, making them compatible with progressive presses if that's your setup. If you reload .45 ACP regularly and want dies that reward attention to detail with better uniformity, this set delivers.

The titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and lubricity, improving durability during repeated use. It also reduces brass buildup on the expander—a significant advantage if you're reloading high volumes of .45 ACP.
Yes. The expander plug includes a final flare that opens the case mouth, designed to prevent lead shaving when seating cast bullets in the .45 ACP.
