Redding 6.5X55Mm Swede Bushing Full Length Type S Die
The Redding 6.5x55mm Swede bushing full length Type S die gives you precision neck control and body sizing in a single step—a real advantage if you're loading for this classic Scandinavian cartridge and want consistency without the extra die. The Type S design uses interchangeable bushings to resize the neck with minimal runout while the die handles full-length body sizing, so your fired cases come out uniform and ready to load.
What sets the Type S apart is control. The adjustable decapping rod lets you dial in exactly how much of the neck you want to resize—whether that's partial or full—so you can tailor your setup to your brass and your demands. The bushing self-centers on the case neck, which means better concentricity across your batch. You get both a standard size button and a decapping pin retainer in the box, giving you flexibility depending on your workflow.
If you ever need the die to work as a body die only, pull the bushing and internals out—the Type S is designed to do that job too. It's the kind of thoughtful engineering Redding shooters have relied on for decades. Compatible with the same interchangeable bushings used in Redding's neck-only bushing dies, so if you already run those, you're familiar with the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bushings work with this Type S die?
The 6.5x55mm Swede Type S die uses the same interchangeable bushings as Redding's bushing-style neck sizing dies, so if you already own those dies or extra bushings, they're compatible with this one.
Can I use this die as a body die only?
Yes. By removing the bushing and all internal parts, the Type S Bushing Full Die can function as a body die.
What comes in the box?
The die is supplied with both a standard size button and a decapping pin retainer.
Can I resize only part of the case neck?
Yes. The adjustable decapping rod allows you to adjust the bushing position so you can resize only part of the neck length if that's what your load demands.
