I've read that Redding dies are generally well-regarded, and so that is what I was going to buy. But, holy cow, there are a bunch of different options with Redding dies: Standard, Premium, Type S, Competition, Match . . . ? I checked the Redding website, and except for telling me how wonderful each type of die is, there was little real information.

Can someone explain to me the functional differences and advantages/disadvantages with each category of Redding die?

TIA



In the chamberings cited,Bushing Dies are moot...simply because the brass sucks.
