Description

Redding Competition Bullet Seating Die, Part Number 55434. This is a high-precision reloading component designed specifically for seating bullets in the 357 SIG caliber. The die features a micrometer-adjustable seating stem, allowing for extremely fine adjustments to the seating depth, with clear calibration markings visible on the micrometer head. The die is constructed primarily of blued and unfinished steel components. It is housed in its original bright green polymer storage case, which is labeled Redding Competition Bullet Seating Die, 55434, 357 SIG. The kit includes the primary seating die, the folded operating instructions, and a small hex key adjustment tool. This item is a reloading component, not a firearm or ammunition. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal laws regarding reloading equipment and components.


Condition report:

The overall condition is very good. The blued finish retains high coverage, estimated at 90%+, showing minor finish streaks, light scratches, and handling wear consistent with field use, particularly on the barrel. The bolt body shows bright metal finish. The wood stock is in very good condition with a high-gloss finish, exhibiting minor handling marks but no major cracks or chips. The synthetic buttplate is intact. The action appears to function correctly when cycled manually. The mounted telescopic sight appears clear with a visible duplex reticle, though optical performance has not been tested. We have not function-tested this firearm.
