Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .300 WSM

• Type S bushing neck sizing system: Sizes only the case neck and lets the handloader choose neck tension with interchangeable bushings, helping tune loads for a specific rifle while reducing unnecessary work on the brass.
• Neck sizing for fired brass: By leaving the case body fire-formed to the chamber, this die supports consistent case alignment and can help maintain the uniform bullet release valued in precision rifle handloading.
• Adjustable decapping rod: The rod can be positioned to control how much of the neck is resized, giving added flexibility when working with different brass lots, bullet combinations, or chamber preferences.
• Hardened steel construction: Steel die construction is chosen for long service life and repeatable sizing, with the durability needed for frequent bench use in a standard reloading press.
• Standard 7/8"-14 press fit: The die installs in common single-stage and turret presses that use the standard thread pattern, making it easy to integrate into an existing rifle reloading setup.

About the Type S Series

Redding Type S dies are built for handloaders who want more control over one of the most important variables in rifle ammunition: case neck tension. In Redding’s lineup, the Type S family sits above conventional fixed-dimension sizing dies by using interchangeable neck sizing bushings rather than a one-size-fits-all neck section. That design gives the user a more deliberate way to match brass thickness, bullet diameter, and rifle chamber characteristics.

Within the series, Redding offers both bushing neck sizing and full-length sizing versions, along with matched die sets for shooters who want a complete precision loading system. The Type S concept is especially relevant to precision rifle reloading, where small changes in neck grip can influence seating consistency and bullet release. Redding also equips these dies with an adjustable decapping rod, allowing the bushing position to be tuned so only part of the neck can be resized when desired. The result is a die family aimed at reloaders who value repeatability, brass life, and the ability to fine-tune ammunition for hunting rifles or target rifles chambered in bottleneck cartridges.

About the Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .300 WSM

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .300 WSM is a specialized rifle reloading die for shooters who want to neck size .300 WSM brass rather than resize the full case. That approach is often preferred when brass is being reused in the same rifle, because the case body remains closely matched to the chamber while the neck is brought back to the desired tension for the next bullet. In practice, this can reduce brass working and help preserve case life over repeated loading cycles.

What sets this die apart is the Type S bushing system. Instead of forcing every case neck through one fixed internal dimension, it accepts interchangeable bushings so neck tension can be selected more deliberately for a chosen bullet and brass combination. For precision-minded handloaders, that means more control over seating feel and a more consistent starting point from round to round. The die also includes decapping as part of the sizing operation, so fired primers are removed during the same pass.

Redding’s design adds useful flexibility through an adjustable decapping rod, which can be set so the bushing resizes only part of the neck if that is preferred. Built from steel and threaded for standard 7/8"-14 presses, this single die fits easily into established bench setups. For .300 Winchester Short Magnum handloads intended for accurate hunting or careful load development, it offers a focused way to manage neck tension without adding unnecessary case-body sizing.

About Redding

Redding Reloading Equipment was founded by Burr Bement in 1946 in Virgil, New York. The company built its reputation around tools for handloading ammunition and remains closely associated with precision-oriented rifle reloading equipment. Redding’s product range includes reloading dies, presses, powder measures, scales, and case-preparation tools, reflecting a long-standing focus on the needs of serious handloaders.

The company is headquartered in Cortland, New York, United States, and it is particularly well known for advanced die designs such as Type S bushing dies and Competition series dies for rifle cartridges. Those product lines show Redding’s emphasis on adjustability and repeatable results, which is why the brand is frequently chosen by reloaders who want tighter control over case preparation and bullet seating. That background makes Redding a natural fit for a dedicated neck sizing die such as this .300 WSM model.
