Redding Reloading Equipment Group Buy discussion thread

I don't own those same dies so can't comment on how they say to use them. I would call/email Redding and I'm sure they can walk you through it.

Thanks, will do!

For my bottleneck brass. Should I get the neck size die or keep my FL die to do the work?

What will it be shot out of? Maybe some other people can chime in since I FL size only.

If you want the best of both worlds, you should check out the FL Neck Bushing dies. You can size the body, ensure just the right amount of headspace, and size the neck as little as possible (or you can control neck tension much more uniformly).

This seems like a great deal, but I've got a few questions. I'm planning to buy a progressive press (most likely Hornady LnL) in the near future to reload 45 ACP. I'm not planning to shoot in competitions.

Would I want the Pro-Series Die Set for 45 ACP? Do I need any additional dies to have a functioning press (other than powder/expander die)? It seems like these three dies are sizing/depriming die, seating die, and taper crimping die. Is that correct?

Also, is the dual ring carbide sizing die worth it in the long run?

Are the bushing for the bushing dies the same fitting?

Not sure I understand your question.

The bushing Redding sells fit all their bushing dies, correct? I figure I just need the right size for the neck tension.

Yea, all the bushings are made to fit any of their bushing dies.
