Redding Reloading Equipment
The Redding Carbide Pro-Series 3-Die Set for .38 Super Auto is purpose-built for progressive reloading machines, giving you the speed and efficiency you need when you're pushing volume downrange. This set combines Redding's NxGEN carbide sizing die with a specialized seating die and dedicated crimping die, all engineered to work seamlessly with the automation of modern progressive presses. If you're serious about .38 Super Auto reloading and want to cut your per-round setup time, this is the foundation you're building on.
Here's how it's optimized for your progressive machine: the set omits an expander die because most progressive presses handle case mouth expansion at the powder drop station—no redundancy, no wasted motion. The seating die features a large entry radius for smooth, reliable case handling at speed, and the separate crimping die lets you dial in that critical final step with precision. The carbide dies mean less maintenance, longer die life, and consistent results across thousands of rounds.
While this set is designed first and foremost for progressive machines, it also works with single-stage presses if you source an expander die separately. That flexibility is worth knowing about if your reloading bench ever shifts gears. Redding's Pro-Series reputation is built on understanding what high-volume reloaders actually need—no bloat, no guesswork, just the dies that do the job.
| Caliber | .38 Super Auto |
| Type | 3-Die Set (Sizing, Seating, Crimping) |
| Series | Pro-Series (Progressive Machine Optimized) |
| Sizing Die | NxGEN Carbide |
| Material | Carbide |
| Includes Expander Die | No (progressive machine expands at powder drop) |
Yes. The set is optimized for progressive machines, but it's fully compatible with single-stage presses if you purchase an expander die separately. That's the only component you'll need to add.
Most modern progressive reloading machines handle case mouth expansion at the powder drop station, so including an expander die would be redundant. If you're using a single-stage press, you'll need to source one separately.
Carbide dies last longer, require no lubrication, and resist wear better than hardened steel, which means more consistent sizing and less maintenance across high-volume loading sessions. For .38 Super Auto, especially on a progressive machine, that translates to reliability and efficiency.
Yes. The set comes with a dedicated bullet crimping die separate from the seating die, giving you control over the crimp independent of bullet seating depth.
