The Redding Competition Bushing Neck 3-Die Set for .308 Win is purpose-built for handloaders who demand tight, repeatable neck sizing and bullet seating. This three-die set combines Redding's competition-grade engineering with micrometer adjustments to help you dial in loads with precision. If you're loading match ammunition, preparing rounds for precision rifle competitions, or simply want tighter control over neck sizing, this set delivers the tooling foundation serious reloaders rely on.
The Competition Bushing Neck Die is the heart of this set. It completely supports and aligns the cartridge case before sizing begins, maintaining alignment throughout the process using a tightly chambered sliding sleeve. As the case moves up into the die, the sizing bushing self-centers on the neck—a design that keeps everything concentric. The decapping rod is held in precise alignment using the die's internal geometry, similar to how a firing pin is supported in a rifle. A micrometer adjustment lets you dial in exactly how much neck length gets sized, giving you command over this critical variable.
The Body Die full-length resizes the case body and bumps the shoulder back to spec for reliable chambering without disturbing the work you've done on the neck. The Competition Bullet Seater uses a floating seating stem with exceptionally tight tolerances—the stem actually floats within the guide bore, which means the bullet is guided straight and true into the case, reducing runout and producing more uniform rounds.
Redding Competition dies are designed for reloaders who understand that small improvements in consistency add up on the target. This set gives you the hardware to manage neck tension and bullet runout at a level that separates good loads from great ones. Note that bushings and shellholder are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are bushings and a shellholder included with this die set?
No. Redding Competition Bushing Neck dies require interchangeable bushings and a shellholder, both sold separately. This lets you customize neck fit for different case lots and brass conditions.
What's the difference between the Neck Die and the Body Die in this set?
The Competition Bushing Neck Die sizes only the case neck using an adjustable bushing, preserving neck dimensions and tension. The Body Die performs full-length resizing of the case body and adjusts shoulder position for proper chambering without affecting the neck work already done.
Can I use this set for match and competition ammunition?
Yes. This set is specifically designed for competition reloading. The micrometer adjustments, tight tolerances, and floating seating stem are built to support the consistency demands of precision rifle and match ammunition.
Do I need a separate decapping die?
No. The Competition Bushing Neck Die incorporates decapping function. The decapping rod is maintained in precise alignment through the die's internal design for reliable primer pocket clearing.
