Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die 338 Lapua Mag

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die for 338 Lapua Mag is a precision reloading die built for shooters who demand consistency and control over their ammunition. If you're serious about long-range rifle handloading—whether for precision target work, competitive shooting, or hunting—this bushing-style neck die gives you the fine-tuning capability that generic full-length sizing can't match. The interchangeable bushing system lets you dial in exact neck tension in .001" increments, meaning you can optimize your loads for your specific rifle and brass without settling for one-size-fits-all results.

What makes the Type S design stand out is the self-centering bushing that works directly on the case neck itself. This concentricity advantage means straighter, more consistent ammunition—critical for accuracy at distance. The adjustable decapping rod lets you resize only as much of the neck as needed, giving you flexibility whether you're working with once-fired commercial brass or carefully prepped match-grade cases. If you're into case neck turning for ultimate uniformity, you can use the die for sizing without the decapping button, letting your sorting and prep work shine through.

The die ships with a standard decapping button and a pin retainer, so you're ready to start loading right out of the box. For reloaders stepping up to precision 338 Lapua Mag work, this Type S die is the kind of equipment that separates good ammunition from great ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Type S bushing die and a standard neck die?

The Type S uses an interchangeable bushing system that lets you adjust neck sizing tension in .001" increments. The bushing self-centers on the case neck, which enhances concentricity. You can also adjust the decapping rod to resize only part of the neck if desired, giving you more control than a fixed full-length die.

Can I use this die if I'm sorting and turning my 338 Lapua Mag brass?

Yes. The adjustable decapping rod and removable decapping button let you use the die for neck sizing without decapping, which is ideal if you've already processed your brass through sorting and neck-turning operations.

What comes with the die?

The die includes a standard decapping button and a pin retainer, so you can begin reloading immediately.

How do I adjust neck tension with this die?

The Type S uses interchangeable sizing bushings available in .001" increments. By selecting the right bushing size, you control how tightly the die sizes your case necks, letting you dial in the exact tension your 338 Lapua Mag ammunition needs.
