| Redding dies are simply some of the best dies. I have had a couple of sets that were not right but, like RCBS, they replace them no charge. I think they are far better than RCBS. |

| Mine are Redding...bought them from Grafs was shocked that they where the cheapest brand !! RCBS need to pull there finger out of there ass, they charge way to much for things like .458 lott dies and .404 dies. |

| All my big bore dies are RCBS and I have never had a complaint, but Redding sure does make nice dies and they are probably better than RCBS..I didn't know the made 404s on special order....
Most dies are fine, I beleive that CH4D are the exception, they are crude for starters and I know of a lot of problems that folks have had with them, including some that I bought... |

| Quick follow up question... I like to finish off my all handloads with a slight crimp using the Lee Factory crimp die. However Lee doesn't make them in 404 Jeffery. I am wondering if I can get away with the .416 factory crimp die since the diameters are so close?
These crimp dies are so cheap wouldn't hurt try it.. Thoughts? |

| You sure can. Have done it on most of my 404 loadings.
Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D"

| I also use Redding. Lee will probably make you a special .404 crimp die if you ask. The Redding dies will also crimp.
