Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die 223 Rem

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die for 223 Rem gives handloaders fine-grained control over case neck sizing and bullet tension—critical for accuracy-focused reloaders working with both once-fired and commercial brass. Unlike full-length sizing dies, the Type S system uses interchangeable bushings to resize only the neck, preserving case dimensions and extending brass life. This is the workhorse choice for precision rifle reloaders who demand repeatable concentricity and consistent neck fit.

The heart of the Type S design is the self-centering sizing bushing, which floats on the case neck rather than being rigidly positioned. This floating action naturally promotes concentric sizing—straighter bullet seating means tighter groups and fewer fliers. Bushings are available in .001" increments, so you can dial in the exact neck tension your ammunition needs. The included decapping rod with standard button allows you to remove primers during the sizing stroke, and the decapping pin retainer enables neck sizing without the button for reloaders who sort, turn, or otherwise prepare their brass before loading.

The adjustable decapping rod is engineered to let you resize only a portion of the neck length if desired—useful when working with magnum or belted cartridges or when you've already turned case necks for uniformity. Whether you're loading match ammunition for the range or precision hunting rounds, the Type S gives you the flexibility to optimize neck sizing to your brass and your cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with the Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die?

The die comes with an adjustable decapping rod fitted with a standard-size decapping button and a decapping pin retainer. Interchangeable sizing bushings are sold separately.

Can I resize only part of the case neck with this die?

Yes. The adjustable decapping rod allows you to position the bushing to resize only a portion of the neck length, which is useful for magnum cartridges or when you've already turned your case necks.

Why use a Type S neck die instead of a full-length die?

Neck sizing preserves more of the case's original dimensions and extends brass life. The Type S system also gives you precise control over neck tension with interchangeable bushings in .001" increments, promoting consistency and concentricity across your ammunition.

Does the Type S work with commercial brass?

Yes. The Type S is especially suited for reloaders using commercial brass as-is. The self-centering bushing helps ensure proper neck sizing even on brass with varying neck dimensions.
