Redding 24 Nosler Competition Bushing Neck Die Set

The Redding 24 Nosler Competition Bushing Neck Die Set is purpose-built for serious reloaders who demand tight, repeatable neck sizing and bullet seating for match-grade ammunition. This three-piece set—competition bushing neck sizing die, body die, and competition bullet seater—gives you the precision control that separates competitive loads from casual plinking rounds. If you're pushing 24 Nosler at the range or in a precision rifle competition, this die set lets you dial in neck tension and bullet runout with confidence.

The competition bushing neck die works differently than a conventional sizing die. Your case gets fully supported and aligned before sizing even begins, keeping everything perfectly concentric. As you stroke the press, the case rides in a snug, precision-machined sleeve while the sizing bushing self-centers on the case neck—the decapping rod stays locked in rigid alignment, just like a firing pin would. The result: consistent neck tension from round to round. The micrometer adjustment lets you fine-tune exactly how much of the neck gets sized, giving you control over bullet grip without over-sizing.

The body die handles full-length resizing of the case body and shoulder bump for reliable chambering while leaving your carefully sized neck alone. The competition bullet seater is where the real magic happens. Tighter manufacturing tolerances and a floating seating stem system mean your bullet can actually sit centered in the seating stem as it goes into the case—no misalignment, no runout. Both the neck sizing die and seater feature micrometer adjustments so you can lock in your settings and repeat them.

Note that bushings and shellholder are sold separately; you'll need to source those to complete your die setup. If you're already running a competition reloading setup or building one, this Redding die set will earn its place on your bench.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to buy bushings and a shellholder separately?

Yes. The Redding 24 Nosler Competition Bushing Neck Die Set does not include bushings or a shellholder—those are ordered separately. You'll need both to use this die set.

What makes the competition bushing neck die different from a standard neck sizing die?

The competition design fully supports and aligns your case before sizing begins, then keeps it steady in a precision-fitted sliding sleeve during the resize stroke. The sizing bushing self-centers on the case neck, and the decapping rod is held in rigid alignment by the die's internal geometry. This translates to more consistent neck tension and better runout control than conventional neck sizing.

Can I use this die set for hunting loads, or is it only for competition?

The set is engineered for the precision demands of competition reloading, where consistency matters most. However, the quality and control it offers will benefit any serious rifle reload.

What is the floating seating stem, and why does it matter?

Redding's competition bullet seater uses a floating seating stem—the stem is so precisely manufactured that the bullet can actually seat centered within it as it enters the case, rather than being forced off-center. This reduces bullet runout and contributes to tighter groups downrange.
