Body die + Lee collet die -> Full length sizing die 280 AI

[fightthenoise]

Which Redding body die 280 Rem or 280 AI?

those aren't interchangeable (to my knowledge) so you need to match your chamber there

Those collet dies are great. Very little runout. I suggest you keep using it. My runout increased when I went to the Redding bushing for die. Wish I could find a collet dire for my 250 savage.

Have not had lee make me a custom Collet die in a long while, but did they stop making them? I thought Lee would custom make a Collet die in almost any caliber, or am I just remembering wrong?

I currently use a Redding body die to size/bump my 280 AI brass, followed by a Lee collet neck sizing die to size the necks. The ammo is fine, but I'd like to know if there is a single die that accomplishes the same thing to the same standard. I'm mainly trying to consolidate two steps into one step. I'm looking at Redding full length sizing dies but my worry is that I won't be able to set it up to size as minimally as I am with the body/collet dies.

Would you mind awfully much sharing your reloading process with your Redding FB sizing die and Lee Collet, as I resize my brass the same way.

Thanks
