Redding 223 Remington Bushing Full Length Die Set

The Redding 223 Remington Bushing Full Length Die Set gives you the precision control that separates careful handloaders from those who just go through the motions. Built around a Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die paired with a Competition Bullet Seating Die, this two-die set lets you dial in your 223 loads with the kind of consistency that shows up in tight groups downrange. Whether you're prepping brass for a bolt-action hunting rifle, an AR platform, or competition shooting, this Redding set handles full-length resizing while giving you real control over case neck sizing and tension.

The Type S bushing system is where the magic happens. Instead of being locked into a single sizing approach, you swap interchangeable bushings to control exactly how much neck tension you want on each reload. This flexibility means you can fine-tune your loads to your specific brass, bullets, and firearm—something generic one-size-fits-all dies simply can't do. For shooters who understand that consistency in case prep translates directly to velocity consistency and accuracy, this level of adjustability is worth the investment.

The Competition Bullet Seating Die completes the package with a micrometer calibrated in .001" increments, letting you dial in seating depth with precision. A floating seating stem helps eliminate concentricity issues that can throw off bullet run-out and group size. Combined with the bushing sizing control, you're looking at a reloading setup that rewards attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the interchangeable bushings and why do they matter?

The Type S bushing system lets you change out bushings to control how much your case necks are sized during the full-length resizing stroke. Different bushings provide different neck tensions, so you can match your setup to your specific brass, bullets, and rifle. This customization is one of the biggest advantages of the Redding bushing system over standard full-length dies.

Can I use this die set with both bolt-action rifles and AR-platform 223s?

Yes. The die set is calibered for 223 Remington and works with any 223 Remington rifle—bolt guns, semi-autos, or anything else in that caliber. Your press compatibility is what matters, not the rifle action.

What comes in the box?

The set includes a Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die, a Competition Bullet Seating Die, and the micrometer-equipped seating stem system. Note that bushings are sold separately and must be selected based on your specific brass and desired neck tension.

How precise is the seating depth control?

The micrometer on the seating die is calibrated in .001" increments, giving you repeatable, very fine control over where your bullets sit in the case. The floating seating stem also helps keep bullet run-out consistent, which matters for accuracy.
