Can I use this Redding 88286 die set on my progressive reloading press?

This 3-die set is primarily engineered for standard single-stage and turret reloading presses featuring a 7/8"-14 thread interface. If you are operating a high-volume progressive reloading machine, Redding recommends using their Pro Series or Competition Pro Series die sets instead.

Do I need to apply case lubricant when resizing .44 Magnum brass with these titanium carbide dies?

No, case lubrication is not required during the resizing stage. The sizing die features a hard, slick titanium carbide ring that eliminates the need for messy case lube, streamlining your straight-wall reloading process for both .44 Special and .44 Magnum brass.

What additional accessories or parts do I need to get started with the Redding 88286 die set?

Aside from your single-stage or turret press and brass, you will need to purchase a Redding #19 shellholder (Part #11019) separately, as it is not included in the package. The set itself accommodates .429" to .430" projectiles and includes the sizing/decapping die, case expander die, and a standard seating die with a built-in roll crimp.

44 Magnum Die Set - Redding 88286

The Redding .44 Special / .44 Remington Magnum NxGEN Titanium Carbide 3-Die Set (Part No. 88286) is a manual, non-powered reloading kit engineered for straight-wall handgun and rifle brass. Designed to interface with standard 7/8"-14 threaded single-stage and turret presses, this three-die assembly sizes, decaps, expands, seats, and roll-crimps cartridges without requiring case sizing lubrication. The set handles both 1.160" .44 Special and 1.285" .44 Magnum cases loaded with nominal .429" to .430" diameter projectiles.

Key Features

Who is the Redding 44 Spec/44 Mag Titanium Carbide Die Set for?

Australian lever-action hunters — Need consistent sizing and a secure built-in roll crimp for straight-wall .44 Remington Magnum (1.285" case length) cartridges used when hunting pigs and deer with tubular-magazine carbines on a standard 7/8"-14 press.
Metallic silhouette and SSAA target shooters — Require this titanium carbide reloading die set to produce concentric, uniform .44 Special and .44 Remington Magnum ammunition using .429" to .430" diameter projectiles without applying case sizing lubricant.

Less suitable for: High-volume progressive press reloaders (such as 4- or 5-station progressive machines), who are better served by dedicated progressive die sets featuring separate seating and taper/profile crimp stations, nor is it suitable for bottleneck cartridges.
