Dies
Can .45 Colt reloading dies be used for .454 Casull and .460 S&W cartridges as well ? Thanks.

I would say no. The case lengths being different could lead to problems like loose case necks and crimping problems, IMHO
The die manufactures have them listed separately for a reason.

The 45 Colt is the parrent cartridge to the 454 Casull (the 454 is a lengthened 45Colt case). They have the same shell holder, and Redding makes a die set that can be used for both.
What is interesting is that the 454 Casull is the parrent cartridge for the 460S&W, (the 460 is a lengthened 454 case), but they use different shell holders.
