Redding Three Die Set .38 Special Product description

This translates to incredibly uniform ammunition, crucial for both target shooting and reliable self-defense loads.

Optimized Functionality: The set includes a Full Length Sizing Die to resize the entire case and decap spent primers, an Expander Die to properly flare the case mouth for effortless bullet seating, and a Bullet Seating & Roll Crimp Die which seats the bullet to a precise depth and applies a secure roll crimp, essential for reliable feeding in revolvers.

  3. Meticulous Craftsmanship: Made from robust, heat-treated steel, these dies are designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume reloading. Redding's commitment to quality ensures a smooth internal finish, preventing brass galling and extending case life while promoting consistent case conditioning.

ABOUT THE REDDING THREE DIE SET .38 SPECIAL

The Redding Three Die Set for .38 Special stands out as a premium choice for handgun cartridge reloading, meticulously engineered to provide superior performance and unmatched reliability. Unlike general-purpose die sets, Redding's dedication to precision ensures each stage of the reloading process—sizing, expanding, and seating/crimping—is executed with exceptional consistency. This set is specifically designed for the straight-walled .38 Special cartridge, a popular choice among sport shooters, competitive marksmen, and casual plinkers alike due to its versatility and mild recoil. Constructed from incredibly durable hardened steel, these dies are built to endure countless reloading cycles, resisting wear and tear while maintaining their precise tolerances. The full-length sizing die restores cases to factory specifications, while the expander die prepares the case mouth for smooth, undeformed bullet seating. The final seating and roll crimp die simultaneously seats the bullet and applies the appropriate roll crimp for secure bullet retention in revolvers. This level of control is paramount for producing ammunition that offers both superb accuracy and flawless function, making it an indispensable tool for anyone serious about their handgun ammunition.
