I have a 22-250 "Benchrest" seating die that I cannot get to thread all the way into my T-7 turret head. I tried cleaning it, lubing it etc. It wouldn't go. When I measured the die body, the major thread diameter is greater at the top end by 007" than the bottom of the die. This die is old enough that it is actually a "Bonanza" model. Using it in a Co-ax press is no problem as the collar will thread fine. I don't have a Co-ax press.
Anyway I emailed them about it. I got a call from the owner! He couldn't understand my problem. I called them back and explained it. They really wanted to see this die. I mailed it in and got a phone call today. They told me that it had a 'leade error' and the pitch changed over the length of the threads. They said that they would be glad to replace it but it was backordered 6 to 8 weeks. I told them that it was no problem, I would just wait.
Great customer service, very involved ownership and management. No wonder I like their stuff! I have had great luck with their micrometer seating dies which are 1/3 the price of Redding!
