Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die .25-06 Remington Improved

• Type S bushing system: This die uses interchangeable neck bushings so neck tension can be tuned to the brass, bullet and load. That gives the handloader more control over bullet release and can help reduce unnecessary working of the case neck.
• Full-length sizing function: By sizing the case body and shoulder while also decapping, the die helps produce ammunition that chambers with consistent feel and reliable feeding, especially useful for hunting rifles and repeat-use field brass.
• Built for improved cartridges: The die is made specifically for .25-06 Remington Ackley Improved 40°, so it matches the geometry of this sharper-shouldered case design rather than forcing a compromise with standard-chamber tooling.
• Steel die construction: A steel body gives the die the rigidity and wear resistance needed for repeatable sizing over long loading sessions, which matters when load development depends on uniform brass preparation.
• Standard press fit: The 7/8"-14 thread works with common reloading presses, making it easy to integrate into an established bench setup without special adapters or proprietary hardware.

About the Type S Series

Redding Type S dies are built for reloaders who want more control than a conventional fixed-neck sizing die can offer. The defining feature of the series is the interchangeable bushing system, which lets the user select neck sizing diameter to suit brass thickness, bullet diameter and the desired amount of neck tension. In practice, that makes the Type S line especially relevant for precision rifle loading, load development and shooters who want to manage case life as carefully as group size.

Within Redding’s die lineup, the Type S series sits as a more specialized option for bottleneck rifle cartridges, combining the company’s established die geometry with a modular neck-sizing approach. Depending on the model, the series is offered in neck-sizing, full-length sizing and competition-oriented configurations, so reloaders can choose between minimal case working and full-length resizing for reliable chambering. The design philosophy is straightforward: keep the die body precise and durable, while giving the user a practical way to fine-tune one of the most important variables in ammunition consistency.

About the Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die .25-06 Remington Improved

The Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die .25-06 Remington Improved is intended for reloaders working with the .25-06 Remington Ackley Improved 40° who want the chambering security of a full-length die without giving up control over neck tension. That combination makes it well suited to hunting ammunition, repeat-fired brass from the same rifle, and precision handloads that still need dependable feeding under field conditions. Instead of treating neck sizing and body sizing as separate priorities, this die handles both in one operation by decapping and returning the case body and shoulder to proper dimensions while the bushing system governs the neck.

The practical advantage of this layout is flexibility. A fixed-neck die applies one sizing dimension to every case, but a Type S bushing full-length die allows the handloader to choose the neck-sizing bushing that best matches the brass and the intended load. That can help maintain more uniform bullet grip and avoid overworking the neck, which is valuable when chasing consistent velocities or extending brass service life. The steel construction supports repeatable alignment and long-term durability, while the standard 7/8"-14 thread keeps the die compatible with common single-stage and turret presses. For a cartridge such as the improved .25-06, where careful brass management is part of the appeal, this die offers a practical balance of precision adjustment and full-length resizing function.

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. Redding later expanded its product range beyond dies to include presses, powder measures, scales and case-preparation tools, giving reloaders a broad bench system from one manufacturer.

Within the die category, Redding is particularly known for Type S bushing dies and Competition series dies, both aimed at shooters who want tighter control over ammunition dimensions and seating consistency. The company was incorporated as Redding-Hunter, Inc. in 1956, and it began marketing products under the Redding Reloading Equipment name in the 1960s. That long focus on specialized reloading tools is what makes the brand especially relevant to bottleneck rifle cartridges and precision handloading applications.
