In the realm of precision reloading, the Redding Type S - Full Length Resizing/Bushing Die stands as a testament to craftsmanship and functionality. This die is designed for those who demand excellence in their ammunition preparation. It allows full-length resizing while maintaining meticulous control over the case neck—a critical aspect for achieving optimal accuracy. The heart of this system lies in its engineering. The Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die works seamlessly with your existing setup, ensuring that each cartridge you produce meets stringent specifications. Redding has honed their design to provide unparalleled consistency, which is essential whether you're preparing rounds for competition or personal defense. Accompanying this sizing die is the Competition Bullet Seating Die, an instrument of remarkable precision. Its seating stem is ground to match bullet diameter flawlessly; no other seating die on the market can boast such exactitude. The micrometer adjustment feature increments by .001 inches—allowing shooters to dial in their preferred seating depth with infinite adjustability and without any audible clicks that might disrupt focus during loading sessions. Redding’s attention to detail extends further with a unique setting feature on the micrometer itself, enabling users to record specific depths tailored either to individual rifles or favorite loads easily remembered from previous outings at the range. Determining which bushings are necessary may seem daunting at first glance but becomes straightforward when employing simple measuring techniques. Measure multiple loaded or dummy cartridges’ neck diameters using a reliable micrometer and subtract between .001” and .002”. This will give you an ideal bushing size that ensures just enough press fit for your chosen bullet type—an operation key to enhancing accuracy. Alternatively, if one prefers examining neck thickness directly, utilizing tools like a ball micrometer or Redding's Case Neck Gauge provides another methodical approach: double your measured wall thickness and add it back into your bullet diameter figure; this results in identifying both proper bushing sizes and expected performance characteristics once loaded. Please note: A shell holder must be purchased separately (Shell Holder #1). With the Redding Type S - Full Length Resizing/Bushing Die set firmly positioned within your reloading arsenal, prepare yourself not only for enhanced efficiency but also for superior performance downrange—the hallmark of every dedicated marksman’s pursuit. In shooting sports where every fraction counts, investing in quality equipment like this pays dividends far beyond mere convenience; it shapes skill into success.
