$67.86
If you're rolling .44-40 Winchester ammunition, a Redding Series-A 3-Die Set for Straight-Wall Cases gives you everything needed to load this classic cartridge with precision and consistency. Straight-wall cases like .44-40 demand a different approach than bottleneck rounds—you need three separate operations to resize, expand, and seat properly—and Redding's Series-A delivers that capability at a price point that won't break the reloading budget. Series-A dies are built to Redding's exacting standards but benefit from efficient high-volume production, making them an excellent choice for shooters who want quality without premium markup.
The three-die configuration handles each step of the process: the full-length resizing die includes a decapping rod assembly to remove spent primers, the expander die contains a neck expanding plug to open the case mouth for bullet seating, and the seating die features a built-in bullet guide and crimp ring to deliver consistent, repeatable loads. This separation of tasks is essential for straight-wall cases, where you simply can't resize and expand in a single operation and maintain the precision that keeps groups tight and feeding reliable.
Whether you're handloading for a reproduction sixgun, a lever-action rifle, or a cowboy action shooting competition, the Redding Series-A approach removes guesswork and standardizes your workflow. Each die is manufactured to the same rigorous specs as Redding's pricier lines, so you're not sacrificing quality—just getting excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do straight-wall cases need three dies instead of two?
Straight-wall cases like .44-40 cannot be resized and neck-expanded in a single operation and maintain proper bullet fit. The three-die set separates these steps: full-length resizing, neck expansion, and bullet seating—each performed independently for precision and consistency.
What's included in the Redding Series-A .44-40 set?
The set contains a full-length resizing die with decapping rod assembly, an expander die with neck expanding plug, and a seating die with integrated bullet guide and crimp ring.
Is Series-A the same quality as Redding's other die lines?
Yes. Series-A dies are manufactured to Redding's standard quality specifications. The lower price reflects efficient production methods, not reduced precision or durability.
