Hornady New Dimension Dies?

[Charlie U.]

I'm interested in Hornady Custom-Grade New Dimension pistol dies.
What is the difference between the series IV and the series V dies? (I'm relatively new to reloading so please be descriptive)

 

[Charlie U.]

Nobody spoke up, so I called Hornady and asked customer service.

FYI, There is no difference.....
I was told that the series numbers are just Hornady's grouping system based on sales and production/demand.
The 480Ruger dies used to be in Series IV, but more recent production die sets are now labeled Series V because the 480Ruger is falling further into obscurity. The dies are exactly the same even thought the series designation has been changed.

so there it is.
