Redding Type S-Match Bushing Neck Die Set .223 Valkyrie
Precision rifle reloading starts with control over every variable, and the Redding Type S-Match Bushing Neck Die Set for .223 Valkyrie gives you the edge. This specialized die set is built for reloaders who demand repeatable, tight neck concentricity—whether you're loading match ammunition for competition or hunting rounds that need to shoot sub-minute-of-angle. The Type S bushing system lets you fine-tune neck tension and sizing length, giving you the consistency that separates good loads from excellent ones.
The heart of this system is the interchangeable bushing approach. Redding supplies bushings in .001-inch increments, so you can dial in exactly the amount of neck tension your brass and bullets prefer. The bushing self-centers on the case neck as it sizes, which means you're not relying on die alignment alone to achieve concentricity—a real advantage when you're working with commercial brass that may vary slightly. If you're sorting and turning necks for ultimate uniformity, the included decapping pin retainer lets you neck size without the sizing button, streamlining that workflow.
The adjustable decapping rod is another thoughtful feature: you can position the bushing to resize just the upper portion of the neck if your brass demands it, and the supplied standard-size decapping button handles the pin removal. This flexibility means the die adapts to your brass and your method, not the other way around. The set includes the Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die body, a Competition Seating Die, and everything you need to get started.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in this die set?
The set contains the Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die body, a Competition Seating Die, a standard-size decapping button, and a decapping pin retainer so you can neck size without using the button if you prefer.
Can I use this die set with commercial brass?
Yes. The self-centering bushing design and adjustable decapping rod make it especially useful for commercial brass, which often has minor neck variations. You can dial in the bushing size and selective resizing depth to handle typical commercial tolerances.
What are the bushing increments, and why do they matter?
Redding supplies interchangeable sizing bushings in .001-inch increments. This lets you fine-tune neck tension precisely—a critical factor in match-grade reloading where even small changes in tension can affect bullet seating and concentricity, which in turn affect accuracy.
Can I use this die for partial neck sizing?
Yes. The adjustable decapping rod allows you to position the bushing to resize only a portion of the neck length if desired, giving you control over how much of the neck is sized on each pass.
