Redding 338 Lapua Magnum Bushing Full Length Type S Die

The Redding 338 Lapua Magnum bushing full length Type S die gives long-range reloaders the precision neck control and body sizing they need in a single efficient operation. If you're pushing the limits of accuracy with magnum rifle cartridges, you know that concentricity and consistent case dimensions matter. This die lets you resize the case body while maintaining exact control over the neck—a combination that would normally require multiple operations or specialized equipment.

What sets the Type S design apart is the self-centering bushing system. Rather than forcing the case neck into a fixed sizing ring, the bushing floats slightly, centering itself naturally on the cartridge neck. This reduces case runout and keeps your rounds more concentric. The adjustable decapping rod gives you fine-tuning control: you can size only part of the neck length if you prefer, or dial in exactly where sizing begins and ends. That level of control is invaluable when you're chasing sub-half-minute accuracy at distance.

The die ships with both a standard size button and a decapping pin retainer, so you're ready to work with different bushing sizes right out of the box. If you ever need to use it as a body die alone—say, when you're running a dedicated neck die in a separate station—simply remove the bushing and internal components. That versatility means this single die can adapt to your reloading bench setup as your needs evolve.

Redding's bushing system uses interchangeable components, so you can swap bushings to fine-tune sizing for different case lots or bullet diameters without replacing the entire die. It's the kind of thoughtful design that separates premium reloading equipment from the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Type S and other Redding full length dies?

Type S dies feature the interchangeable bushing system with a self-centering design that controls neck sizing independently from body sizing, and the adjustable decapping rod lets you customize how much of the neck gets sized. This gives precision-focused reloaders much finer control than standard full length dies.

Can I use this die if I already have Redding bushing neck dies?

Yes. The Type S uses the same interchangeable bushings as Redding bushing-style neck sizing dies, so your existing bushings will work with this die.

What comes in the box?

The die ships with both a standard size button and a decapping pin retainer, giving you the components needed for immediate use and flexibility in your reloading setup.

Can this die do anything besides full length sizing?

Yes. If you remove the bushing and all internal parts, you can use the Type S as a body die, which is useful if you want to run a dedicated neck die in a separate station or need body-only sizing for certain loads.
