Redding 28 Nosler Body Die

The Redding 28 Nosler Body Die is a specialized reloading die engineered for reloaders working with 28 Nosler brass who are dealing with cases that have become stubborn to chamber after multiple firings. Unlike a full-length sizing die, this body die focuses on resizing the case body and bumping the shoulder back into proper position without touching the neck—a precision approach that preserves neck tension and extends brass life on cases that would otherwise become problematic.

If you've loaded a few dozen rounds through your 28 Nosler and noticed increasing resistance during chambering, a body die is your tool. As cases work-harden through repeated firing, the body can expand slightly and the shoulder creeps forward. A body die corrects this without the aggressive full-length resize that can introduce unwanted stress. Because it leaves the neck untouched, you'll follow up with your neck die afterward to restore proper neck tension and ensure consistent ignition and case life.

Redding body dies are precision-machined without internal features—they're all about simplicity and durability. This 28 Nosler model is built to the same standards as Redding's full line of reloading equipment, and it works seamlessly in a progressive, single-stage, or turret press. If your brass is becoming difficult to chamber and you want to keep using it rather than scrap it, a body die is a legitimate, cost-effective solution that many serious handloaders keep on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I use the body die by itself or with other dies?

The body die works as part of a two-step sizing process. After running a case through the body die, you'll need to run it through your neck die separately to achieve proper neck tension and complete the sizing cycle.

Why would I need a body die instead of just full-length resizing?

A body die is ideal when cases have become difficult to chamber after repeated firing due to body expansion and shoulder creep. It corrects these issues without the more aggressive full-length resize, helping preserve case life and avoid unnecessary work-hardening.

What press can I use this die in?

The Redding 28 Nosler Body Die works in standard single-stage, progressive, and turret reloading presses that accept standard reloading dies.

Is the neck die sold with the body die?

The body die is sold separately. You'll need to have or obtain a neck die for your 28 Nosler to complete the sizing process after using the body die.
