The Redding 83191 Case Trim Die is a precision reloading tool engineered for manual file-trimming of .45 Colt and .454 Casull straight-wall cartridge brass. Machined from heat-treated, through-hardened alloy steel, the die withstands direct contact with flat hand metal files without damaging the tool surface. Cut to standard chamber dimensions, it rigidly secures brass in a standard reloading press to establish a flat, uniform case mouth for consistent roll and profile crimping without applying unnecessary full-length resizing or cold working.

Key Features

  • Hardened Steel Construction: Manufactured from through-hardened alloy steel to prevent wear when filing protruding brass flush with the top surface.
  • Chamber-Dimension Profiling: Internal dimensions match standard cartridge chamber profiles to hold cases securely without excessive resizing.
  • Standard Thread Mounting: Built with an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to integrate directly into standard single-stage reloading presses.
  • Multi-Calibre Compatibility: Accommodates both standard-pressure .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) and high-pressure .454 Casull brass with .452" bullet profiles.
  • Dual-Purpose Application: Functions as a dedicated length-trimming die and an intermediate stabilizing step when reforming heavy straight-wall handgun brass.

  • Calibre Compatibility: .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) and .454 Casull (.452" diameter bullet profile)
  • Thread Standard: 7/8"-14 TPI
  • Material: Heat-treated, through-hardened alloy steel
  • Operation Type: Manual single-stage press file-trimming
  • Shipping Weight: Approximately 0.23 kg to 0.30 kg (including storage box)

Who is the Redding Case Trim Die for .45 Colt and .454 Casull for?

  • Reloaders producing .45 Colt ammunition — utilizes a standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to secure straight-wall cases rigid on a single-stage press, enabling precise manual file-trimming to ensure uniform roll-crimping across standard .452" diameter bullet profiles.
  • Reloaders processing high-pressure .454 Casull brass — provides chamber-dimension support for .454 Casull straight-wall cases without cold-working the metal, allowing reloaders to file brass flush at processing rates of roughly 60 to 120 cases per hour.

Less suitable for: High-volume production runs exceeding 120 cases per hour or reloaders prepping necked cartridges, where a powered rotary lathe trimmer or motorized case prep centre is better suited.
