Description

The Redding 58282 NxGen set is designed for the competitive shooter who demands that their handgun ammunition be as accurate as their rifle rounds. By separating the seating and crimping functions, Redding ensures that the bullet is seated perfectly straight before any crimping pressure is applied.

The NxGen Carbide technology reduces the physical effort required on the press stroke and treats the brass more gently than traditional carbide rings, extending the life of your .357 cases. The micrometer seating die allows for instant adjustments when switching between different bullet profiles, such as a 125gr JHP and a 158gr Lead SWC, making it a favorite for shooters who swap loads frequently.

NxGen Carbide Sizing Die: Unlike standard carbide dies that use a small ring, the NxGen die features a unique carbide material and geometry that sizes the case more smoothly. It eliminates the “wasp-waisted” look often seen in resized .357 brass and requires no lubrication.

Competition Bullet Seating Die: This is the centerpiece of the set. It features a Micrometer Adjuster for .001″ seating depth precision and a floating bullet alignment sleeve. This sleeve centers the bullet perfectly over the case mouth before seating begins, virtually eliminating bullet runout.

Profile Crimp Die: This die provides a two-stage crimp. It first applies a uniform taper crimp to stabilize the bullet, followed by a consistent roll crimp. This is essential for .357 Magnum to prevent “bullet jump” under the heavy recoil of a revolver.
