redding die

[captn-tin]

just started reloading for 45 colt. i'm using some inherited rcbs dies. in the rcbs box is a redding die, labeled 45 colt pro cr 7b. looking down at the top of the die there is a slot (index mark?) on each side of the hole. both slots are colored, one being red, the other black . anyone out there tell me what this die is...thanks...captn-tin

I wonder if it is a special crimp die that not only crimps the neck, but also
does that cool crimp below the bullet base.

Shoot a pic of it.

Yes, a pic would help.

ETA: Sounds like a profile crimp die:
