Hello gentlemen, I'm planning to buy one of this set, very good specs and cost effettive, but on the tecnical infos I ready that the set have incompatibilità with some/all Redding press.

Someone use this set or single shell holder of this brand with Redding press?

Particullarry with The Boss press.



Thanks
 
If you can swing the cost the Area419 shellholders for traditional presses are very nice and allow easy adjustments to your shoulder bump.

Midsouth has them in stock here.

Because the Redding set on EU are more expensive that the Derraco set.
And also because the Derraco set seems me crafted very good.
 
You have to buy a different Redding shell holder set for each caliber. The A419 set works for almost all calibers with just the one set. If you're only reloading for one caliber then the Redding set should be just fine.

Your thinking are correct, but I've only one caliber to reload.
So Derraco or Redding are fine for me but Derraco cost me about the alf of the Redding
 
If you are using a Redding Boss or either Gen of the Big Boss, these should work fine.

If you are really concerned about compatibility then spend the extra for the Redding set.
Pretty sure the compatibility issue is in regards to the T-7 and Ultramag Redding presses. Have seen several people on other forums mention the T-7 and more with the Ultramag press mention shell holder issues with Lee and Hornady shell holders on these two presses.
