Redding Type S Elite Bushing Die Set .17 Hornet Product description

  1. Type S Elite Bushing Design: This advanced die set features Redding's Type S Bushing technology, allowing handloaders to precisely control neck tension by utilizing interchangeable bushings (sold separately). This design minimizes case run-out and extends brass life by sizing only the case neck, leading to significantly improved accuracy and consistency for your .17 Hornet loads.

  2. Micrometer Seating Die: The included Bullet Seating Die is equipped with a micrometer adjustable head, providing unparalleled precision for setting bullet seating depth. This allows for repeatable adjustments in increments as fine as .001 inch, crucial for fine-tuning loads for optimal accuracy and ensuring consistent cartridge overall length.

  3. Enhanced Full Length Sizing: The Type S Full Length Sizing Die with decapping and expander maintains precise control over case dimensions. It’s engineered to return brass to SAAMI specifications while working seamlessly with the bushing system, allowing for consistent chambering and preventing feeding issues in even the tightest chambers.

  4. Constructed for Durability: Each die in this set is meticulously crafted from premium hardened steel, ensuring exceptional strength, wear resistance, and a lifetime of reliable performance. The robust construction is designed to withstand the rigors of high-volume reloading, delivering consistent results for many years.

ABOUT THE REDDING TYPE S ELITE BUSHING DIE SET .17 HORNET

The Redding Type S Elite Bushing Die Set stands apart from standard die sets, representing the pinnacle of reloading precision for the .17 Hornet. Engineered for discerning handloaders, competitive shooters, and hunters who demand unparalleled accuracy, this set includes a full-length sizing die with decapping/expander, a body die, and a micrometer bullet seating die. Its core distinction lies in the Type S bushing system, which allows for minute control over neck tension, a critical factor for accuracy and brass longevity. Unlike conventional dies that size the entire neck indiscriminately, the bushing system enables you to select specific neck diameters, reducing work-hardening of the brass and ensuring superior bullet alignment. Crafted from hardened steel, these dies are designed for extreme durability and consistent performance. This set is a strategic investment for anyone looking to achieve sub-MOA accuracy and meticulous control over their ammunition, providing the means to produce custom-tailored loads with reliable chambering and uniform bullet pull.
