I made the mistake of spending the money on Redding dies for my S&W 460.
When I started using them the brass buckled,by the way they are carbide die so no lube should be needed.
I then went to spraying the brass with Dillions case lube and the cases still buckled.
I then went to Imperial resizing wax with the same result.
I removed the resizing die and measured the opening and it is .467 same as my 45 LC die and they are Dillion.
Only difference I can measure is that the Dillion die has a lead in from .476 down to .467 but the Redding does not .467 straight though.
I will take some photos later today and post them but the buckle is at the bottom and even if I try to resize a little at a time when I get to the bottom it will buckle.
The Redding die resizes down to .466 and some even smaller.
I am going to send the dies back to Redding with the buckled cases and some fired case, they told me the die could be assembled wrong?
I wonder if the resizing ring is in backwards.
Has anyone else run into this problem with Redding or anyother dies.
Thanks in advance.
