Scout Master 54Redding Dies Series A
I have the opportunity to pick up a set of Redding Dies #80189 Series A in .45 ACP at a good price. Not being familiar with Redding die sets is the sizer carbide? It doesn't say on the label like RCBS and others. I am not into lubing cases if I don't have too, perhaps that's why the price is so low if it's not carbide set. (the Redding web site was not clear if they were or not)

CMcDermottNo, the #80189 set is plain steel, the titanium carbide set is #88189, the "Pro" set also titanium carbide is #89189 and the "Competition Pro" set with titanium carbide sizer and micrometer seater is #58189

Scout Master 54Thanks for the reply, I guessed as much and opted for a set of RCBS Carbide dies instead.
