Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die Only .308 Win
The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die for .308 Winchester is a precision reloading die built for shooters who demand concentricity and consistency in their handloads. If you're working with .308 Win brass—whether virgin commercial cases or once-fired ammunition—this neck-sizing die gives you the control to dial in the exact neck tension your loads need, shot after shot.
What sets the Type S bushing system apart is simplicity married to adjustability. The interchangeable sizing bushings come in .001-inch increments, so you can fine-tune neck fit to match your brass and bullet combination without trial and error. The self-centering bushing design improves concentricity naturally, reducing runout that can hurt accuracy. The adjustable decapping rod lets you resize only the upper portion of the case neck if you prefer—useful if you're sorting or turning necks for uniformity. Best of all, you control whether to use the decapping button or skip it entirely; a decapping pin retainer is included for neck sizing without the button on cases you've already processed.
This is a die-only purchase, so you'll need to source your own sizing bushings (sold separately in .001-inch increments). A standard decapping button is supplied. If you handload .308 Winchester and want repeatable, concentric neck sizing without over-sizing the entire case, the Redding Type S is a workhorse choice trusted by precision rifle shooters and long-range hunters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bushings do I need for the Redding Type S .308 Win die?
Sizing bushings are sold separately and available in .001-inch increments. You'll select the bushing size based on your brass and bullet diameter to achieve the neck tension you want. Redding offers bushings across a range of sizes to fit .308 Winchester applications.
Can I use this die with commercial .308 brass as-is?
Yes. The Type S die works with commercial brass without modification. The included decapping button and adjustable decapping rod let you begin processing new or once-fired cases right away.
Do I have to use the decapping button?
No. The included decapping pin retainer allows you to neck size without the button, which is useful if you've already processed your cases or prefer to sort and turn necks separately for uniformity.
Will this die reduce runout in my finished rounds?
The self-centering bushing design improves concentricity by allowing the bushing to center naturally on the case neck during sizing. Concentricity depends on many factors (bushing selection, case quality, bullet seating), but the Type S geometry is designed to minimize runout.
