    .45 colt tapered dies?

    Are the new steel RCBS .45 colt dies tapered or must you find a vintage set?
    OR just bite the boolit and spring for a 2 carbide ring redding?

    I know the steel sizer die is tapered, and available by itself, but don't know about the other dies.

    Yes - that is what I am currently doing but as the rossi blows the base out my bis wont chamber them.
    I have to run two sets of loads - was hoping to come up with one combination.
