Useless Waste of Money
Following the directions, and using with a Redding press and die, I was unable to bump identical brass with any consistency whatsoever. I did not find this product useful at all, and it's grossly overpriced for a set of shell holders. Should be about $20 even if they are useful to you. I love made in the USA, and Redding is a good company, but I returned this product.
