Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for Bottleneck Cases .223 Rem

The Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for Bottleneck Cases in .223 Rem is built for reloaders who demand precision, consistency, and durability from their equipment. This two-die set handles the complete full-length resizing and bullet seating process for .223 Remington bottleneck cases, giving you the control you need to produce ammunition that chambers reliably in any standard SAAMI rifle. Whether you're loading for match shooting, hunting, or training, a quality full-length die set is the foundation of repeatable, safe ammunition.

Redding's reputation rests on meticulous manufacturing and materials. These dies are machined on Hardinge Super-Precision lathes to tolerances tighter than most reloaders ever need—yet they're built to last a lifetime. The full-length resizing die includes a decapping rod assembly with a neck expander (size button) to prepare your cases for seating. The seating die features a built-in crimp ring and the proper seating plug, plus a bullet guide to ensure consistent bullet placement. Heat-treating in atmospherically controlled furnaces preserves those tolerances long-term, while hand-polishing and final inspection guarantee smooth, flawless functioning right out of the box.

The included die box serves triple duty: it's a cartridge loading block for organization, a storage container for your die set, and even has a dedicated slot for your shellholder. You also get a spare decapping pin and hex wrench in the box, so you'll be ready to start reloading. All Redding dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 threaded body, so they'll work with any standard reloading press.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Redding die set work with my reloading press?

Yes, as long as your press accepts standard 7/8-14 threaded dies. This is the industry-standard thread size used by virtually all modern single-stage and progressive reloading presses.

What's the difference between full-length resizing and neck-sizing dies?

A full-length resizing die, like the one in this set, resizes the entire case body and neck back to SAAMI specifications. This is the standard approach for most reloaders and ensures your ammunition will chamber in any rifle with a standard SAAMI chamber, regardless of the firearm it was previously fired in. The included decapping rod removes spent primers as part of the process.

What comes in the box with this die set?

You get the two dies (resizing and seating), a die box that serves as a loading block and storage container, a spare decapping pin, a hex wrench for maintenance, and a slot in the box to store your shellholder.

Is this set suitable for match-grade ammunition reloading?

Redding's precision machining and tight tolerances support consistent, high-quality ammunition. The full-length resizing die and seating die will produce ammunition that meets SAAMI specs and chambers reliably, which is essential for any precision reloading work.
