Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .17 Hornet Product description

  1. Precision Neck Sizing: This Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die is engineered to size only the neck of the .17 Hornet cartridge case, preserving the fire-formed body for enhanced accuracy and longer brass life. This significantly reduces work-hardening of the brass and maintains optimal case dimensions specific to your rifle's chamber.

  2. Adjustable Neck Tension: The innovative bushing system allows reloaders to fine-tune neck tension by selecting from a range of interchangeable Redding sizing bushings (sold separately). This level of control ensures optimal bullet-to-case fit, promoting superior bullet concentricity and consistency crucial for sub-MOA accuracy.

  3. Durable Construction: Crafted from heat-treated steel, this die is built to withstand rigorous use, offering exceptional wear resistance and durability. Its precision-machined surfaces ensure smooth operation and consistent reloading performance over thousands of cycles, making it a reliable tool for serious reloaders.

  4. Optimized for Accuracy: By isolating neck sizing and eliminating the need for an expander ball, this die minimizes runout and improves bullet seating alignment. This results in more consistent muzzle velocities and tighter groups, making it an indispensable tool for competitive shooters and hunters demanding the utmost precision from their .17 Hornet loads.

ABOUT THE Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .17 Hornet

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die for .17 Hornet stands out in the reloading landscape by offering unparalleled control over the most critical aspects of rifle cartridge preparation. Unlike traditional full-length sizing dies, this specialized die focuses solely on resizing the case neck, preserving the integrity of the fire-formed case body. This unique approach prevents unnecessary work-hardening of the brass, significantly extending case life and maintaining perfect synergy between the cartridge and your rifle's chamber. Designed for demanding reloaders, it utilizes interchangeable bushings (sold separately) to precisely control neck tension, a key factor in achieving optimal bullet concentricity and exceptional accuracy. Crafted from robust, heat-treated steel, this die ensures consistent, reliable performance for countless reloading cycles. Its meticulous design promotes superior bullet alignment and reduces runout, directly translating to tighter groups downrange. This die is particularly beneficial for bolt-action rifle shooters and precision hunters who prioritize consistent performance and maximum accuracy from their ammunition.
