If you stick with the Hornady brand, either the .454 Casull die set is necessary as Cortland mentioned or the .45 ACP/AR/WIN/LC die set (New Dimension Series II). I've been using the latter die set for years and it has worked very well for .45 Colt.

Hornady's set specifically made for .45 Colt is not correct for modern .45 Colt firearms and ammo.

Hornady's web site is less than helpful in determining the proper set to purchase.
