45 Long Colt set-up on the Redding T7

Utilizing the T7’s die holding capacity I set up a separate Neck Flaring station.

1) Full Length Size and De-Cap .. Lee Deluxe Die 

    1a) Prime .. Winchester Large Primers

2) Neck Flare** .. Lyman M Die

3) Powder Charge .. Lee Auto Drum Powder Measure

4) Bullet Seat .. Lee Deluxe Die

5) Neck Crimp .. Lee Deluxe Die

**Neck Flaring: I have a few choices, this time I’ll use the Lyman M Die. Note: M Dies are caliber specific vs the Lee Universal Die. My M Die is set-up in the press, the Lee pictured below.  Which is best? Always fodder for discussion. In general the machine finish is superior on the Lee, Lyman offers caliber specific neck sizing along with neck flare. With Lee you buy ONE Die, Lyman its One Die Per Caliber .. $ vs $$$$$$$$.
