The Redding Carbide Pro-Series 3-Die Set for .38 Super Auto is designed primarily for progressive reloading presses and includes a carbide NxGEN sizing die alongside dedicated seating and crimping components. The set does not include an expander die because many popular progressive machines perform case mouth expansion at the powder drop station. A separate seating die with a large entry radius is provided, and a specialized crimping die is also included. The set can be used on single-stage presses when a compatible expander die is added.
