Redding Carbide Die Set .38 Special Product description

  1. Carbide Sizing: The full length sizing die features a tungsten carbide ring, eliminating the need for case lubrication. This allows for incredibly smooth, fast, and efficient resizing cycles, perfect for high-volume handgun reloading.

  2. Precision Craftsmanship: Each die is meticulously CNC-machined from high-quality steel and heat-treated for exceptional durability. Internal surfaces are polished to reduce friction and ensure consistent, concentric case formation.

  3. Three-Die System: This comprehensive set includes a Full Length Sizing Die (de-primes and resizes), an Expander Die (flares the case mouth for bullet seating), and a Bullet Seating Die (seats the bullet and allows for profile crimping).

  4. Enhanced Bullet Seating: The bullet seating die is engineered for precise bullet placement, minimizing runout and ensuring consistent overall cartridge length (OAL). This contributes to improved accuracy and reliable feeding in firearms.

ABOUT THE REDDING CARBIDE DIE SET .38 SPECIAL
