Redding 243 Winchester Bushing Full Length Type S Die

The Redding 243 Winchester Bushing Full Length Type S Die is a precision reloading die designed for handloaders who want to resize their rifle brass while maintaining exacting control over the case neck in a single operation. If you're working with 243 Winchester ammunition and need the kind of dimensional consistency that separates match-grade rounds from ordinary reloads, the Type S bushing system gives you that control—without the extra step of separate neck sizing.

What makes the Type S design stand out is its combination of full-length case body resizing with the precision neck control that bushing-style dies are known for. The die uses interchangeable bushings (the same ones compatible with Redding's standalone bushing neck sizing dies), so you can fine-tune exactly how much of the case neck gets sized and in what manner. The self-centering bushing naturally aligns itself on the case neck, which means better concentricity—tighter, more consistent ammo without the guesswork. An adjustable decapping rod lets you dial in bushing position, giving you the flexibility to resize only part of the neck length if that's what your load demands.

The die ships with both a standard-size button and a decapping pin retainer, covering the most common setup out of the box. One often-overlooked advantage: by removing the bushing and internal components, the Type S can also serve as a body die, making it a versatile tool if your reloading bench evolves or you need to adapt your process down the road.
