Redding 44-40 Winchester Bullet Seating Die

The Redding 44-40 Winchester Bullet Seating Die (Redding part no. 55188) seats bullets to a consistent depth in 44-40 Winchester brass, using a precision-machined seating stem shaped to match the bullet’s ogive rather than a generic profile. A threaded lock ring holds the seating depth setting once dialed in, so repeated batches load to the same overall length. Built to a standard 7/8-14 die thread, it fits any single-stage or turret press that runs standard reloading dies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this die also crimp the bullet? No, this is a dedicated seating die; crimping is handled separately by a taper or roll crimp die where the cartridge design calls for one.

Will the seating depth stay consistent across a large batch? Yes, the threaded lock ring holds your seating depth setting so consecutive rounds load to the same overall length.
