Redding Titanium Carbide .38 Special/.357 Magnum Pistol Die Set

The Redding Titanium Carbide Pistol Die Set for .38 Special and .357 Magnum (brand part no. 88282) uses a titanium carbide sizing die, a material with the highest hardness of any readily available carbide and a smooth, rounded microstructure that resists galling. That means .38 Special and .357 Magnum cases resize without the extra step of applying case lube, a real time-saver on a busy reloading bench. The conventional three-die set includes the titanium carbide sizing die, an expander die, and a bullet seating die with a built-in crimp, and it is designed for use on a single-stage press.
