Redding Competition Pro Series Die Set .38-40 Winchester Product description

  1. Competition Standard: This die set is engineered for competitive shooters and discerning handloaders who demand the utmost in cartridge consistency and accuracy. Its advanced design ensures minimal runout and precise bullet seating, crucial for achieving sub-MOA groups.

  2. Three-Die Configuration: The set includes a full-length sizing die, a micrometer bullet seating die for fine-tuning overall length (OAL), and a separate profile crimp die. This dedicated crimp die allows for independent crimping after bullet seating, preventing bullet deformation and ensuring optimal neck tension. It's particularly beneficial for ammunition used in tubular magazines or high-recoil firearms.

  3. Precision Engineering & Materials: Crafted from premium heat-treated steel, these dies are CNC-machined to exceptionally tight tolerances. The interior surfaces are polished to a mirror-like finish, reducing friction during the reloading process and minimizing case stretching. This meticulous manufacturing ensures exceptional dimensional accuracy and a prolonged lifespan for the dies.

  4. Micrometer Seating Die: The included micrometer seating die features a precision micrometer adjustment, allowing reloaders to set and reproduce bullet seating depths with unparalleled accuracy. This fine-tuning capability is vital for optimizing ballistic performance and achieving the ideal jump to the rifling for your specific firearm and projectile combination.

ABOUT THE Redding Competition Pro Series Die Set .38-40 Winchester

The Redding Competition Pro Series Die Set for .38-40 Winchester stands out as a pinnacle of reloading precision, designed to meet the rigorous demands of competitive shooters, hunters, and serious handloaders. Unlike standard die sets, the Pro Series elevates the reloading experience by offering unparalleled accuracy and consistency in every round. This set features a dedicated full-length sizing die that meticulously returns cases to SAAMI specifications, ensuring reliable chambering in all firearms. A standout is the micrometer adjustable bullet seating die, which provides exact control over seating depth, crucial for fine-tuning ammunition for optimal accuracy. Furthermore, a separate profile crimp die allows for precise bullet retention without distorting the case, vital for ammunition used in lever-action rifles and revolvers, preventing bullet setback under recoil or in tubular magazines. Constructed from hardened, polished steel, these dies are built for extreme durability and smooth operation, making them a preferred choice for those seeking to produce match-grade ammunition for hunting game or winning shooting competitions.
