• Uses the same interchangeable bushing (.001" increments) as those used in Redding's bushing style neck sizing dies.
• The adjustable decapping rod allows you to adjust the bushing position, sizing only part of the neck length when desired.
• Concentricity is enhanced by the ability of the bushing to self-center on the neck of the cartridge case.
• All Type S (except 17 and 20 cal) dies are supplied with both the standard size button and a decapping pin retainer for the advantages and versatility described under Redding's Type S -Bushing Style Neck Sizing Dies.
Note: By removing the bushing and all internal parts, the Type S Full Bushing Die may also be used as a body die.
How to Determine Which Bushings You Need:
The easiest way to determine the proper diameter bushing, is to measure the neck diameter of several loaded or dummy cartridges with an accurate micrometer. Subtract .001”- .002” from the average neck diameter and this diameter bushing will generally size case necks to create the proper press fit for the bullet.
Another method is to measure the neck thickness with a ball micrometer or Redding’s Case Neck Gauge. Double the wall thickness and add this number to the bullet diameter. The result is the neck diameter of a loaded cartridge, and bushing size can be determined as above.
