The Redding 458 Lott Full Length Die Set (Part #80460) is a bench-mounted reloading tool designed for processing standard SAAMI/CIP-spec .458 Lott big-bore rifle ammunition. Manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel on precision CNC lathes, this 3-die set delivers dedicated stages for full-length resizing, case mouth expansion, and bullet seating. Built with standard 7/8"-14 threading, the set mounts into standard single-stage and turret reloading presses to produce heavy-recoil hunting cartridges loaded with .458" diameter projectiles.

Key Features

  • Three-Die Architecture: Dedicated configuration separates full-length resizing, case neck expanding, and bullet seating to properly process straight-wall and minimally tapered .458 Lott cases without case distortion.
  • Full Length Sizer Die: Part #91460 includes a complete decapping rod assembly (#30097) to decap spent primers and restore fired brass to factory chamber dimensions.
  • Expander Die: Part #93460 utilizes an expanding plug (#99457) to prepare the case neck mouth for correct bullet seating tension and smooth projectile entry.
  • Seater Die with Built-In Roll Crimp: Part #92460 features a standard seat plug (#01065) and an integrated roll crimp ring to lock dangerous game solids and soft points securely in place against recoil-induced bullet setback in magazine boxes.
  • Machined Heat-Treated Steel: Constructed from hardened alloy steel to maintain strict internal tolerances over prolonged batch-reloading cycles (requires external case sizing lubrication).

Who is the Redding 458 Lott Full Length Die Set for?

  • Dangerous game handloaders in Australia — Requires an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread and a 3-die configuration to reliably size, expand, and roll-crimp heavy .458" diameter bullets for hunting large game such as water buffalo and scrub bulls.
  • African safari hunters — Relies on this .458 Lott reloading die set to apply a firm built-in roll crimp to .458" bullet diameter dangerous game ammunition, preventing recoil-induced bullet setback inside the magazine during repeated heavy recoil.

Less suitable for: Handloaders loading shorter .458 Winchester Magnum brass, as the longer internal dimensions of this .458 Lott die set cannot properly size or crimp the shorter case; a dedicated .458 Win Mag 3-die set is required instead.
