I have been reloading for about six years now. I have only used Redding dies which I have had perfect experience with. Absolutely perfect.
I am about to start .357 Sig now and am looking at dies. Since Redding does not make a .357 Sig carbide sizing die, and based on my research, I was about to buy both a Redding .40 S&W carbide sizing die and a Redding .357 Sig sizing die. Now I see that Dillon does make a Carbide Size/Deprime Die for .357 Sig (their stock number 16513).
I have had no experience with Dillon. Has anyone had experience with this particular die? Is it better to go ahead and buy both of the Redding dies and stay away from the Dillon die? If that die works for .357 Sig, I can't understand why the other manufacturers would not make one of their own. I guess I'm skeptical based on the "if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't" maxim.
Would appreciate hearing from those of you with .357 Sig loading experience.
Thank you sincerely,
Big Mike
