The Redding 87172 9mm Luger Titanium Carbide Sizer Die is a dedicated reloading tool designed to resize cartridge cases and remove spent primers in a single mechanical stroke. Engineered with an ultra-hard titanium carbide sizing ring from Redding's NxGen series, this die enables lubeless resizing of clean 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum) brass cases. Built to mount via industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading, it integrates seamlessly with standard single-stage, turret, and progressive reloading presses to streamline handgun cartridge processing workflows.

Key Features

• Titanium Carbide Sizing Ring: Eliminates the requirement for case lubrication on clean brass, accelerating batch resizing and case preparation.
• NxGen Sizing Geometry: Features an extended carbide contact profile designed to prevent the "wasp waist" hourglass effect and properly size cases back to factory tolerances.
• Integrated Decapping Assembly: Automatically depowers and expels spent primers during the sizing downstroke using standard Redding decapping components.
• Deep-Sizing Capability: Sizes further down the case body toward the case head to address base expansion from unsupported pistol chambers.
• Standard Press Interface: Features 7/8"-14 threading compatible with standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 87172 9mm Luger Titanium Carbide Sizer Die For Reloading for?

• High-volume 9mm handloaders — Eliminates case lubrication steps when processing large batches of 9mm Luger (9x19mm) cartridge brass, allowing fast case preparation on standard single-stage, turret, or progressive presses utilizing standard 7/8"-14 threading.
• IPSC and practical shooting competitors — Ensures reliable chambering in competition handguns by sizing 9x19mm cases deep toward the base with an extended titanium carbide contact area that eliminates standard single-ring hourglass profiles.

Less suitable for: Reloaders processing alternate handgun calibres such as .38 Super, .380 ACP, or .357 Sig cases (which require dedicated, calibre-specific sizer dies), or those operating older specialized presses that lack standard 7/8"-14 thread sockets.
