Jim Watson: Please note that quote and double quote in my OP was originally discovered on this forum via web search ‘Redding Carbide 454 dies’. The entire reason I am here is to track the source. The original thread was posted here on 7 Dec 2002 by a member known as ‘mellow’. I have no knowledge of any carbide instructions first hand. My carbide die had no specific instructions. I’m trying to establish if any manufacturer has ever published any specific special instructions pertaining to carbide dies and if so does anyone have documentation of that publication. There are/is many articles, chatter, opinions by knowledgeable folks and I do not doubt the logic of not sizing the entire case. Somewhere at some time I would think a manufacturer would have published something.
I plan on writing a letter (the kind with a stamp) to Redding asking if such a document ever existed and asking for a direct answer regarding carbide die specific instructions. A stamped letter will necessitate a reply. Stay tuned.
