Body Dies: Redding Only Source?

[Phil3]

Is Redding the only maker of body dies? Nothing against the Redding body die for my 223 Remington, but if I am going to get one of these, might as well make sure I've explored them all. So far, just found Redding, but anyone else?

Thanks.

RCBS makes Form and Trim dies that work pretty much the same as a body die. Depend on the caliber and how much the necks have been turned. I have also take the bushings out of a bushing type FL sizing die and what's left works the same way as a body die.

I have a fantasy that some day lee will come out with a kit that has a more rugged collect die, a body die that minimally messages the case, and a high quality seater. Possibly included would be several mandrels to fine tune the collect die. I think they'd sell em like popcorn....but from what I've read they are so busy trying to keep up with their current line up I'll have to come up with a different fantasy.
