Redding 6.5-284 Norma Bushing Full Length Type S Die

The Redding 6.5-284 Norma Bushing Full Length Type S Die gives you the precision control serious handloaders demand when preparing brass for a demanding cartridge. This full-length resizing die handles the complete job in one step—collaring the case neck to exact specifications while sizing the body—without sacrificing the concentricity and neck runout control that bushing-die shooters rely on. If you're pushing the limits of 6.5-284 Norma accuracy at distance, the Type S design lets you dial in exactly how much of the neck gets sized, giving you repeatability that matters on the long range.

What sets the Type S apart is the self-centering bushing that floats on your case neck, eliminating the chatter and runout that come from fixed-sizing approaches. You get the same interchangeable bushings used in Redding's dedicated bushing neck dies, so if you already own those, your bushing collection translates directly to this die. The adjustable decapping rod is your dial—twist it to control bushing depth and how much neck length gets worked. That's control most shooters don't get from off-the-shelf full-length dies.

The die ships ready to work, with both a standard-size button and a decapping pin retainer included. If you ever need to use it as a body die only—sizing just the case body without neck work—you can pull the bushing and internals and run it stripped down. That flexibility is Redding's engineering in action: one tool, multiple jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this die work with Redding bushing neck dies I already own?

Yes. The Type S die uses the same interchangeable bushing system as Redding's dedicated bushing neck sizing dies, so your existing bushings are compatible.

Can I adjust how much of the case neck gets sized?

Yes. The adjustable decapping rod controls the bushing position, allowing you to size only part of the neck length if desired.

What comes in the box with this die?

The die includes a standard-size button and a decapping pin retainer, so you're equipped to start reloading right away.

Can this Type S die do anything besides full-length resizing?

Yes. If you remove the bushing and all internal parts, you can use the die as a body die to size only the case body without neck work.
