6.5x55 Swedish Redding Type S Bushing Full Die

6.5x55 Swedish Redding Type S Bushing Full Length Die

The Redding Type S Bushing Full-Length Die Set includes a Type S Bushing Full-Length Sizing Die. The Type S Full-Length Bushing Sizing Die allows you to select a bushing available in .001” increments. This lets the reloader size the complete body of the case, adjust the amount of shoulder bump, and determine and control the amount of external neck sizing. Bushings and shellholder are sold separately.

The decapping rod can be used with a traditional sizing button which is recommended for brass that has not been neck turned or sorted by neck wall thickness. For sizing brass that has been neck turned, use the decapping pin retainer in place of the sizing button.

If you are using brass that hasn’t been neck turned, find a piece that has the thinnest wall thickness if you have a tubing micrometer or find one that has the smallest outside diameter when loaded with a bullet, and select a bushing .003” to .005” smaller than the outside diameter. This method will minimize the amount of sizing you do to your brass but still result in consistent inside diameter when the case passes over the sizing button as it exits the die. This makes sure you have consistent bullet grip and uniform chamber pressures.
