The REDDING Competition Pro .38 Super Auto Titanium Carbide Die Set leverages the latest advances in materials science, specifically as related to Carbide, creating new and innovative designs to increase ease of use and improved dimensional accuracy in straight wall cases. These NXGen designs create cases with profiles which do not exhibit the Wasp Waist often found with use of a traditional single ring carbide. NXGen uses a greater carbide contact surface giving these dies the ability to better compensate for a variety of wall thicknesses without over sizing the case body.
Materials technologies continually advance and provide Redding engineers with opportunities to create previously unattainable design characteristics to better serve the needs of the straight wall cartridge reloader. These advances in NXGen carbide technology along with enhanced designs make possible improved ease of sizing and allow for more accurate dimensioning for the entire range of new cartridge case products from suppliers around the world.
