What press and shellholder compatibility does the Redding 66172 die set require on an Australian reloading bench?

The Redding 66172 features standard 7/8"-14 threaded bodies, ensuring seamless compatibility with nearly all single-stage, turret, and progressive reloading presses used in Australia, such as Redding, RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon. Please note that it requires a Redding #13 shellholder (Part #11013), which is sold separately.

Can I use this 9mm Luger die set for other similar pistol calibres like .380 ACP or .38 Super?

No, this die set is engineered strictly for 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum using a .355" bullet). It is not compatible with .380 ACP, .38 Super, or 9x21mm cases without distinct caliber-specific adjustments or dedicated die bodies.

Does the Titanium Carbide sizing die require case lubrication for high-volume 9mm reloading?

The Titanium Carbide sizing ring eliminates the need for case lubrication on clean, standard straight-walled pistol brass, allowing for fast and smooth processing. However, if you are processing heavily tarnished range-pickup brass, applying a light coat of sizing lube can help reduce mechanical press fatigue.

What type of micrometer graduation does the Model 66172 seating die feature?

The Redding 66172 comes equipped with a Standard (Imperial) Bullet Seating Micrometer. It provides fine, direct-dial adjustments in 0.001" increments to achieve exact cartridge overall length consistency for your 9mm loads.

Designed to fit standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses, this mechanical die set features a titanium carbide sizing die that resizes straight-walled pistol brass without requiring case lubrication. The set incorporates a dedicated expander die with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coated expander plug to prevent brass shaving, alongside a premium bullet seating die fitted with an Imperial-graduated bullet seating micrometer for precise, direct-dial cartridge overall length (OAL) adjustments in 0.001" increments.

Who is the Redding Premium Handgun Die Set for 9mm Luger for?

Practical pistol competitors shooting IPSC or Steel Challenge — requires high-volume reloading efficiency via a 3-die set featuring a titanium carbide sizing die that operates without case lube and mounts directly into standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses.
Handloaders seeking exact cartridge overall length consistency — utilizes a standard 7/8"-14 threaded seating die equipped with a direct-dial micrometer adjustable in 0.001" increments to achieve precise bullet seating depth across 9mm Luger ammunition batches.

Less suitable for: Handloaders loading alternative 9mm or .38-calibre cartridges such as .380 ACP, .38 Super, or 9x21mm; these applications exceed the 9mm Luger dimensional envelope and require dedicated, calibre-specific handgun die sets.
