I have a few 338 LM Redding dies, and I can't find any information on whether there are real differences. They all "make bullets" lol. The bullet seating dies are obvious. But, the body dies and the neck sizing dies have different markings, primarly "P4" on the ones in the complete set that came in the same green box. The others were in individual boxes. Is this just a marking for the set, material used, or any other different spec? I can't tell a difference. Thanks ~~ !

Here's what I have:

78594 - Type S Bushing Style Neck Sizing die set (3 die complete set)
------------ Body Die says "Body P4" on it
------------ Bullet Seating Die says "ST P4" - no micrometer
------------ Neck Sizing Die says "B/NK P4"

75594 - Body Die Category III on cardboard box - says "Body 5R" on the die

71594 - Type S Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die on plastic box - says "B/NK 4S" on the die

55594 - Competition Bullet Seating Die says "ST" on the die (micrometer on top)
