Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die .17 Hornet

1. Type S Bushing System: This die utilizes Redding's innovative Type S bushing system, setting it apart from standard full-length dies. The removable bushing allows handloaders to change neck sizing bushings in precise .002" increments (bushing sold separately), enabling exact control over neck tension and virtually eliminating bullet runout for enhanced accuracy. This feature significantly extends case life by minimizing overworking of the brass neck.

2. Full Length Sizing: Engineered to return fired cases to their factory dimensions, this die ensures reliable feeding and chambering in any rifle, making it a critical component for handloaders seeking consistency. It seamlessly integrates a decapping function, removing spent primers during the sizing process, streamlining your reloading workflow.

3. Premium Construction: Each Redding Type S die is meticulously crafted in the USA from robust hardened steel, undergoing a rigorous heat-treating process to maximize durability and resist wear for a lifetime of use. The internal surfaces are polished to a mirror finish, reducing friction and preventing brass damage during sizing, which ensures smooth operation and consistent results.

4. Optimized for Performance: The combination of full-length sizing and adjustable neck tension makes this die indispensable for shooters demanding the highest levels of precision. Whether for competitive shooting, varmint hunting, or general range use, this die helps produce ammunition with superior concentricity and uniform bullet hold, contributing to improved accuracy and shot-to-shot consistency.
