Redding Die Designation/Part #'s Question

I bought my first Redding die set for my 22 BR awhile back. (2 die set) Die box says Series B.

The dies themselves are marked FL 3Q, and ST 3Q. I've since obtained another full length die which is marked FL 3C.

Can anyone tell me what the 3Q and 3C designation mean?? jd

Thanks for your suggestion 243. The "Contact Us" option is one I should use more often with my dealings.

As to my question, it seems that the 3C die has smaller dimensions than the 3Q die. I would like to know if that is as intended, and if there are any other differences that I'm not aware of. jd

According to Redding it is just a batch code.
