Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Die Set 6.5X47Mm Lapua

The Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Die Set for 6.5x47mm Lapua gives precision reloaders the control they need for repeatable, accurate loads. Unlike full-length sizing, this bushing-style neck die lets you adjust case neck tension and concentricity independently—critical for match-grade ammunition and long-range hunting rounds where neck runout directly affects velocity consistency and shot placement. The interchangeable sizing bushings come in .001-inch increments, so you can dial in the exact fit your brass demands without trial and error.

The adjustable decapping rod is where this die earns its reputation. You can position the bushing to resize only the upper portion of the neck if you prefer, and the bushing itself self-centers on the case neck for better concentricity than fixed-die sizing. If you're sorting and turning case necks for true uniformity, the included decapping pin retainer lets you neck-size without the size button—keeping your process clean and your necks perfect.

This set arrives ready to work: you get the Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die body, a Competition Seating Die, a standard decapping button, and the pin retainer. It's built for 6.5x47mm Lapua brass, whether you're prepping commercial rounds or processing hand-me-down cases. Redding's match-grade tooling holds the tolerances serious handloaders demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this bushing neck die and a standard full-length sizing die?

This Type S Bushing die sizes only the neck and lets you control how much of the neck gets resized using the adjustable decapping rod. Full-length dies size the entire case. For precision rifle rounds and match ammunition, neck-only sizing preserves case dimensions and reduces runout—both matter for accuracy at distance.

Can I use this die with commercial 6.5x47mm Lapua brass?

Yes. The set includes a standard decapping button so you can process commercial brass as-received. If you later sort and turn necks for uniformity, you can use the supplied decapping pin retainer to resize without the button.

What's included in the set, and do I need additional dies?

The set contains the Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die body, a Competition Seating Die, a standard decapping button, and a decapping pin retainer. You'll need a separate sizing bushing (purchased by .001-inch increment) matched to your brass and desired neck tension, and a powder charging die to complete your 6.5x47mm Lapua reloading setup.

How do interchangeable bushings help with neck tension?

Each bushing increments in .001 inches. By selecting the right bushing size, you set the inside diameter of the resized neck precisely—giving you control over how tight or loose the case neck grips your bullet. This is essential for match-grade loads where consistent neck tension equals consistent velocities.
