Product Overview

The Redding 45-70 U.S. Govt expander die is a precision reloading die built to smooth out one of the most important steps in handloading rifle ammunition: preparing your case mouth to accept the bullet. If you've loaded straight-wall rifle cartridges before, you know that cases need a slight flare at the mouth to guide bullets in cleanly and seat them without deformation. This expander die does exactly that—it gently opens the case mouth to the right dimension just before you move to the seating stage, taking the guesswork and frustration out of the process.

Redding manufactures these dies from premium alloy steel and machines them to tolerances most shops can't match. Each die is heat-treated in a controlled atmosphere to ensure consistent hardness and performance, then hand-polished so it cycles smoothly through hundreds of reloading sessions without stalling or binding. Whether you're loading for a vintage .45-70 levergun or modern blackpowder cartridge hunting, this die will hold up to repeated use and maintain its dimensions for years.

Like all expander dies, this one is designed to be used in a standard reloading press as part of your die sequence—typically after resizing and before bullet seating. It's a straightforward tool that does one job very well, and it's an essential step if you want consistent, trouble-free bullet seating every time you load.
