UtahLeftyRedding FL Dies
Hi all ! I am gathering supplies for my 470 and am researching die options. Redding is set to produce a FL set for $60-$70. This is compared to RCBS at $245. I have used mostly RCBS & Hornady in the past. How to the Redding dies compare? GIven the price differential, are the Reddings worth having?
thanks,

DavidReedI think highly of them. So much that most of my die sets have been upgraded to them. RCBS is probably the benchmark for threaded dies but IMO Redding is a cut above them.

the jiggeri have both redding and rcbs. i also think that redding is just a tad better. redding also has a better selection of ackley dies. don't hesitate!

UtahLeftythanks guys! They're not expecting to actually make any 470 dies until maybe june but they're about 1/4 the cost of rcbs and I think I'll wait for them to come out.

ireload2The Redding dies are about the equivalent of RCBS.
I prefer some features of the RCBS and some of those of the Reddings.
