Redding Titanium Carbide Pistol 3-Die Set, .45 ACP

The Redding Titanium Carbide Pistol 3-Die Set, .45 ACP (brand part no. 88189) is a conventional three-die set built around titanium carbide, a material that differs considerably from standard tungsten carbide and carries the highest hardness of any readily available carbide. Under a microscope, titanium carbide’s microstructure appears smooth and rounded, which gives it a slippery, non-galling surface that is ideal for lubeless resizing of .45 ACP cases. The set includes the titanium carbide sizing die, an expander die, and a bullet seating die with a built-in crimp, and it is intended for use in a single-stage press rather than a progressive.
