I'm in the market for 454 casull dies and am wondering if they will also reload 45 colt or do I need to buy a seperate set of dies for the 45 colt. My other sets say 38 spec/357 mag or 44 spec/44 mag but the casull just says the 454 casull ( other than redding and at the redding price I could but 2 seperate sets anyway) Thanks
If you buy .454 dies, you'll need a shorter bullet seating die for the .45 Colt, since the .454 dies won't crimp them. I use my old .45 Colt set to load .454, however, and just bought a carbide .454 sizer. It will size .45 Colt brass also. I think you could just buy a three-die set for the .45 Colt, and use them for loading both rounds.
