[QUOTE="Reloader222, post: 963965, member: 25295"] I have upgraded some years back to Redding Die Sets. I have the following problem with their dies: 1) The lock rings are crap; 2) The expander ball needs much more lubrication compared to other dies - you can upgrade this to carbide expander ball at an additional cost. 3) No vent hole on the shoulder of the case and should you use too much wax it cause dented shoulders. Should you use mica this problem is solved. I later also bought a few Foster Die Sets and I regard them better in the following sence: 1) Lockrings is top class; 2) Expander ball sits higher in the die and thereby improves concentrivity of the case neck. Expander ball is rounded which allows less lubrication. 3) There is a vent hole on the shoulder which helps when you accidently used too much wax. When you use the Redding bushing dies much of the above should not be a problem. The Micrometer on the seater die of the Redding is better quality. [/QUOTE]
