Do I need to use case lubrication with the Redding 80172 3-die set?

Yes, because this set features an all-steel sizing die rather than a titanium carbide ring, case sizing lubricant is strictly required prior to running your 9mm brass through the resizing die to prevent cases from getting stuck.

What shellholder is required to use this die set on my reloading press?

The Redding 80172 die set requires a Redding Shellholder #13, which is sold separately. The dies themselves feature an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch that fits standard single-stage and turret presses from brands like Redding, RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, and Lee.

Are there any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications required for this tool in Australia?

No, electrical compliance and SAA/RCM certifications are not applicable. The Redding 80172 is a completely manual, non-powered mechanical tool that does not require 240V mains power or an Australian power plug.

What bullet diameters and cartridge variants is this specific die set compatible with?

This set is strictly built for standard 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum) cases using .355" diameter bullets. It is not compatible with other 9mm variants such as 9x18mm Makarov or 9x21mm without cartridge-specific die changes.

9mm Reloading Dies - Redding 80172

The Redding Series-A 3-Die Set for Straight-Wall Cases – 9mm Luger (MPN: 80172) is a precision handloading tool designed to process fired 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum) cartridge brass. Machined from heat-treated alloy steels, hand-polished, and ultrasonically cleaned, this non-powered mechanical die set mounts into standard single-stage or turret reloading presses using an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch. It performs full-length case resizing, case mouth expanding, and bullet seating with an integrated crimp ring to prepare ammunition using 0.355" diameter projectiles.

Key Features

Three-Die Layout: Includes a Full-Length Steel Resizing Die with decapping rod assembly, an Expander Die to bell the case mouth, and a Bullet Seating Die with a built-in crimp ring and seating plug.
Alloy Steel Construction: Precision-machined on lathes from heat-treated alloy steel for tight dimensional tolerances and wear resistance.
Dual-Purpose Storage Box: Ships in a heavy-duty storage box that functions as a cartridge loading block, supplied with a spare decapping pin and hex wrench.

Who is the Redding 9mm Luger Steel Three Die Set for?

Cat H Licensed Handgun Target Shooters — Mounts via the 7/8"-14 thread pitch to standard reloading presses to assemble competition and target ammunition specifically for 9mm Luger chambers using 0.355" diameter bullets.
Low-to-Moderate Volume Handloaders — Utilises heat-treated alloy steel construction in a 9mm Luger reloading die set to deliver precise case dimensions and extended service life when handloading lubricated brass.

Less suitable for: High-volume progressive press reloaders who require continuous operation without applying case sizing lubricant, who are better served by a titanium carbide 3-die set; and shooters loading alternative 9mm cartridges such as 9x18mm Makarov or 9x21mm, who require cartridge-specific die sets.
