There should be no issue with Redding. They also have the best crimp die for heavy recoiling revolvers, IMHO, in their Profile Crimp die.
Does the combination seat/crimp die have the same feature as the stand alone crimp die?

Partial resizing is a good option for case life, though you have to realize the heavy crimps needed will lead to mouth splits sooner than you see with some other cartridges.
I do understand the heavy crimp is going to take a toll on the brass. In the case of my 460 die set, I stopped using the Redding size die because even if i only size where the bullet will seat, it still ends up looking really weird and the brass is noticeably thinner even after seating the bullet.

I have reverted back to my RCBS Carbide 45 Colt die and haven't had any issues once I got the crimp sorted out. (Early on I wasn't crimping enough)
