Ok so I have a 280 AI on the way from score high, I have a redding type s 3 die set, bushing neck sizer, micrometer seater and a body die (body only). Lately I'm starting to prescribe to the whole FL resize every time. Should I sell these dies and send a fire formed case and have custom dies made or just keep the redding dies?

Redding is not currently taking custom die orders, i am in the same boat on needing a set built for my 338AI

There are others that do, and if I can find* one, is that the route I should go?

YMMV, etc...But my .280AI is very tolerant when it comes to case stretch. I don't think I have FL sized YET and several of my cases have been fired 3-4 times. I use the REDDING std NS dies and thats it.

Though these are hunting loads, not screaming, get all I can, Target loads.

Again....YMMV.
