Mylhouse · June 13, 2001, 03:01 AM

Hey y'all-

Inquiring minds (well, at least mine) want to know:

1) I've heard that Dillon dies are actually made by Redding. Is this true?

2) I've been hearing GREAT things about the Redding Profile Crimp die for revolvers. Dillon calls their revolver crimp die the "ACCU-CRIMP" die. The tech at Dillon, who wasn't very helpful (believe it or not...guess there's a first time for everything), said that "it was the best crimp die available and probably works much in the same way as the Redding Profile Crimp." Is this true, is the Dillon as good as the Redding, and do they crimp in the same manner?

Thanks!
