32ACP T&B bullets - best die set?

I hate having to mess with dies once I've got them set up for a particular recipe, I got things set up nicely for XTP 60gr JHP's with starline brass, then got into a mess when I tried to switch over to T&B bullets.

So, I've decided to create a dedicated tool head for loading T&B 64gr - SWC - Polymer Coated bullets on my XL650. I intend to use once-fired Fiocchi brass as this will be ammo for practise (and possibly the short line in future).

I will use a Dillon powder through die with PhotoEscape PTU and a Dillon powder measure with X-small bar.

I read that Greg Brenner uses Dillon dies. What do others think are the best dies for this application?

Well, I use Redding Progressive set, they work well except that seating die problem. I will try Hornady die and see if it solves the problem.

Just to clarify, I use Photo Escapes PTU, Dillon dies for the rest when loading 32 ACP (including the X-small powder bar). Starline brass. I load both .312 and.314 T&B bullets, and I change the PTU accordingly (the .312 T&B bullets are similar in size to the Hornady XTP). I use separate tool heads for 32 Long, but just change the PTU when changing bullet size. Separate tool head would be nice, although I find it pretty easy to change back and forth.  I plan to switch from .314 to.312 bullets in the next couple days. Will pay attention, but don’t recall any issues with sizing

Ok, I switched back and forth. On Dillon 550, with T&B 314, I use the Photoescape PTU, size .3175. I have it adjusted do that the bullet drops in so that the line ring is approx 1/2 visible. Dillon Seating die pushes it in the remaining minor amount. To switch to the Hornady XTP, I use the .3145 or .3155 PTU, but need to back out the seating die. I can see that a spare tool head would make it easier.  I almost never load the XTP, so never really noticed. The .3175 PTU make loading the .314 T&B bullets very easy, nearly “bullet proof” (sorry, couldn’t help it). For me, when I was testing the PTUs, the issue was using the proper size, as well as adjusting the depth, so the bullet sets in the case perfectly. Hope this helps some.

Very clear. Thank you Greg.
I have ordered the recommended PTU. I was able to pull together a second set of dies from the collection of 32SWL & ACP dies I have already got.
I will update once I get it all working nicely.
Thanks again.
