Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die .280 Ackley Improved

1. Precision Neck Sizing: This die is engineered to perform neck sizing only, leaving the fire-formed case body untouched. This crucial feature preserves casing integrity, minimizing brass stretching and significantly extending case life over repeated loadings. It's an ideal choice for bolt-action rifle shooters and enthusiasts focused on achieving the tightest groups.

2. Interchangeable Bushing System: The heart of the Type S die is its innovative bushing system, allowing for precise control over neck tension. Handloaders can easily swap out various Redding or compatible sizing bushings (sold separately), typically available in .001" increments, to achieve the exact cartridge neck diameter required for optimal bullet retention and consistent shot-to-shot performance.

3. Enhanced Accuracy and Consistency: By maintaining the rifle's chamber fit for the case body while finely tuning neck tension, this die significantly reduces bullet runout and minimizes concentricity issues. This leads to more uniform bullet release upon firing, translating directly into superior accuracy for competitive shooters and precision hunters demanding the utmost from their ammunition.

4. Durable Construction: Crafted from robust, heat-treated steel, the Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die is built to withstand the rigors of high-volume reloading. Its polished interior surfaces ensure smooth case entry and exit, preventing scratching and galling of the brass, thus safeguarding your valuable reloading components for a lifetime of use.

ABOUT THE REDDING TYPE S BUSHING NECK SIZING DIE .280 ACKLEY IMPROVED

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die for the .280 Ackley Improved cartridge stands out in the reloading world due to its specialized design focused squarely on maximizing accuracy and brass life.

This approach is paramount for precision rifle shooters, including competitive target shooters and dedicated hunters, who seek consistent bullet seating and minimal brass fatigue. The die’s core innovation lies in its interchangeable bushing system. This allows reloaders to fine-tune neck tension for optimal bullet retention, minimizing bullet runout and ensuring superior concentricity. Made from high-quality, heat-treated steel, this die offers exceptional durability and a smooth, non-marring operation, making it an indispensable tool for those committed to crafting custom, match-grade ammunition.
