The Redding 94172 Pro Series Seating Die is a dedicated mechanical bullet seating die engineered for high-volume reloading of 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum) ammunition. Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading, this die is optimised for progressive and turret reloading presses where bullet seating and case crimping are split across separate stations. It performs straight bullet seating without applying a roll or taper crimp, ensuring precise projectile depth control while relying on downstream stations to apply the final crimp. The die features a specially machined, flared entry mouth with a large-radius chamfer to eliminate case hang-ups and prevent shaved brass during rapid press cycling.

Key Features

• No-Crimp Seating Design: Dedicated exclusively to seating bullets to exact depth without applying a taper or roll crimp, ideal for multi-station progressive setups.
• Flared Entry Mouth: Features a wide-radius funnel at the base to smoothly guide indexed 9mm brass into the die body, preventing case mouth catching or shaved projectiles.
• Universal Press Compatibility: Features standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit progressive and turret presses, including Dillon, Hornady Lock-N-Load AP, Lee, and RCBS machines.
• Manual Mechanical Operation: Requires no electrical supply, mains power (240V), or electrical regulatory compliance for Australian workshops.

Who is the Redding Pro Series 9mm Luger Seating Die for?

• IPSC Practical Pistol Competitors — Reloading high volumes of match ammunition benefits from this progressive press seating die, which uses standard 7/8"-14 threading and a flared entrance radius to eliminate case hang-ups during fast press indexing on 9mm Luger cartridges.
• High-Volume Target Shooters — Loading 9mm Luger (.355" projectile diameter) ammunition on multi-stage progressive presses requires a dedicated seating-only die that isolates the seating step from crimping operations without catching indexed brass.

Less suitable for: Handgun calibres other than 9mm Luger (such as .38 Super, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP) or necked rifle cases, which require dedicated calibre-specific seating dies; single-stage press operators requiring simultaneous bullet seating and crimping in a single operation should use a standard combination seat-and-crimp die.
