The Redding 28531 260 Remington Master Hunter Reloading Die Set is a 2-die reloading tool engineered to produce match-grade hunting and target ammunition. Built to mount on standard reloading equipment, this set combines a full-length resizing die with a micrometer-adjustable Competition Seating Die. The sizing die incorporates a free-floating carbide size button to reduce neck drag and brass stretching, returning fired brass to factory SAAMI dimensions for reliable cycling. The competition seating die uses an internal sliding sleeve to maintain straight-line alignment between the bullet and the case neck before seating, minimizing bullet runout without applying a crimp.

Key Features

• Full-Length Sizing with Carbide Expander: Restores fired brass to factory dimensions while the free-floating carbide size button minimizes inside-neck friction and case stretch.
• Straight-Line Competition Seating: Employs a patented sliding sleeve mechanism and micrometer head to align the projectile concentrically with the case neck prior to seating.
• No-Crimp Design: Leaves case mouths uncrimped to maintain match-grade accuracy with modern boat-tail and target projectiles lacking a crimping cannelure.
• Standard Press Mounting: Uses standard 7/8"-14 threading to ensure compatibility across standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Who is the Redding Master Hunter 260 Remington Die Set for?

• Long-range precision hunters shooting .260 Remington — requires standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses to load .260 Remington ammunition with benchrest-level concentricity and dependable full-length sizing for reliable chambering in field rifles.
• Handloaders developing match-grade .260 Remington ammunition for medium game and pest control — utilizes a 0.52 kg 2-die system with an integrated micrometer seating die and carbide size button to assemble precision .260 Remington loads without excessive neck stretch or case runout.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to load calibres other than .260 Remington, or those requiring crimped rounds for heavy tubular magazine recoil, who require a dedicated calibre-specific taper crimp or roll crimp die.
