Redding 222 Remington Competition Bushing Neck Die Set

The Redding 222 Remington Competition Bushing Neck Die Set is purpose-built for handloaders who demand consistency and precision—whether you're preparing match ammunition for the range or fine-tuning loads for competitive shooting. This three-die set includes a Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Die, a Body Die, and a Competition Bullet Seater, each engineered to maintain tight tolerances throughout the reloading process.

The Competition Bushing Neck Die uses a sliding sleeve design that fully supports and aligns the case before sizing begins. As the case moves upward, it stays cradled in the die while the sizing bushing self-centers on the neck, delivering uniform neck dimensions. The micrometer adjustment lets you dial in precise control over how much neck material is sized, critical for shooters who understand that neck tension directly affects bullet runout and velocity consistency. The decapping rod maintains perfect alignment through the die's internal geometry—similar to how a firing pin seats in a chamber—ensuring repeat accuracy across every round.

The Body Die handles full-length resizing of the case body and shoulder bump without touching the carefully sized neck you just finished. This separation of tasks prevents unnecessary work-hardening and lets you maintain the neck control you've already established. The Competition Bullet Seater employs a floating seating stem with tolerances tight enough that the stem can actually move freely within its guide—a design detail that centers the bullet concentrically and minimizes runout. Together, these tools give you the control serious reloaders expect from Redding competition-grade equipment.

Note: Bushings and shellholder are sold separately, so verify your 222 Remington specifications before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What bushings and shellholder do I need for 222 Remington?

Bushings and shellholders are sold separately. You'll need to determine the correct bushing size for your neck diameter and the proper shellholder for your press—consult Redding's sizing charts or your press documentation for the exact part numbers.

Can I use this die set in any reloading press?

This set is compatible with standard reloading presses that accept standard die threads. Verify that your press can accommodate the die dimensions and that you have the correct shellholder for your specific press model.

What makes the floating seating stem design important?

The floating stem can move slightly within its guide, which allows the bullet to center itself naturally as it enters the case. This reduces concentricity error and bullet runout—factors that directly improve accuracy and consistency, especially at longer ranges.

Do the micrometer adjustments make it easier to dial in my loads?

Yes. Micrometer adjustments on both the neck die and seater let you make repeatable, measurable changes rather than guessing. Once you've found your ideal settings, you can return to them precisely on future loading sessions or share settings with other shooters.
