The Redding Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die stands as a testament to precision engineering for the discerning reloader. This tool offers an effective means to control case neck size and tension, ensuring that every round you craft meets your exacting standards. At the heart of this die is its interchangeable sizing bushing system, which allows for adjustments in increments of 0.001 inches. This level of customization is critical for achieving optimal fit and performance with your chosen projectile. The adjustable decapping rod further enhances versatility; it enables you to resize only a portion of the neck length if desired, catering specifically to your loading requirements. One notable feature is how the resizing bushing self-centers on the case neck during operation. This design choice improves concentricity—a crucial factor when accuracy matters most—and ensures that each cartridge aligns perfectly within your chamber. Included with this die is a standard-sized decapping button, tailored for those who reload commercial brass without alterations. For advanced reloaders focused on uniformity—who sort or turn their case necks—Redding has thoughtfully included a decapping pin retainer with most Type S bushing dies (excluding 17 and 20 caliber). This facilitates precise neck sizing without reliance on the size button itself. To determine the right diameter bushing for your needs, simply measure several loaded or dummy cartridges using an accurate micrometer. Once you've established their average measurements, subtract 0.001 inches from the smallest value obtained; this calculation compensates for spring back and assures an ideal press fit for each bullet seated into its casing. In summary, whether you're new to reloading or are a seasoned veteran refining your craft, the Redding Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die equips you with both simplicity and sophistication in one package—allowing you to produce ammunition that performs reliably under pressure while maintaining exceptional accuracy downrange.
