I recently bought Redding's Pro Series Carbide die sets for reloading 10mm Auto and .45 ACP in my Dillon RL 550B, thinking that I would be 'upgrading' from the Dillon-brand 3-die sets that I'd been using. Now I haven't put the .45 ACP dies though their paces yet, but the 10mm Auto dies are makin' me blue! Specifically, the seater die is tearing up the bullet jackets and the crimp die won't crimp the case mouth around the bullet any tighter than 0.425" when the crimp is supposed to be at least 0.423". Consequently, the ammo will feed just fine in a factory Glock chamber, but it won't feed in the Bar-Sto or KKM chambers of the custom barrels I've got for either my G20 or STI Limcat.
Are these legitimate reasons for sending them back to Redding? Any of you ever had to deal with Redding. I've heard from at least a few shooting enthusiasts that their customer service is the pits.
