The Redding Type S – Match Bushing Full Die Set .243 Winchester (MPN: 36114) is a two-die reloading set engineered for precision handloading. Built from case-hardened steel and threaded to standard 7/8"-14 pitch, this set combines a Type S Full-Length Bushing Sizing Die with a Competition Bullet Seating Die. The sizing die utilizes interchangeable neck bushings to precisely regulate case neck tension without overworking brass, while the Competition Seater features a sliding alignment sleeve and a top micrometer graduated in 0.001" increments to achieve strict concentricity and uniform seating depth.

Key Features

• Interchangeable Bushing Sizing: Employs self-centering neck bushings (sold separately) adjustable in 0.001" increments to size the case neck while maintaining full-length body sizing and shoulder bump to factory specifications.
• Adjustable Decapping System: Includes an adjustable decapping rod assembly and decapping pin retainer, allowing reloaders to size the full or partial neck length or bypass the expander ball completely on uniform brass.
• Micrometer Competition Seating: Utilises a spring-loaded alignment sleeve that fully captures the case neck and .243" (6mm) bullet before seating, guided by a micrometer head marked in 0.001" increments.
• Body Die Functionality: Can be converted to a dedicated body die simply by removing the internal neck sizing bushing and decapping assembly.

Who is the Redding 243 Win Type S - Match Full Die Set for?

• Precision benchrest and long-range target shooters — Requires repeatable seating depth indexed in 0.001" increments alongside sliding alignment sleeve technology to maintain minimal bullet runout on .243 Winchester competition loads.
• Precision handloaders seeking exact neck tension control — Needs interchangeable sizing bushings adjustable in 0.001" increments within a standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch die body to avoid overworking .243 Winchester case necks while preserving case life.

Less suitable for: Reloaders shooting modified wildcat chambers such as the .243 Win Ackley Improved 40°, or those requiring ready-to-load packages out of the box; these dies require the separate purchase of application-specific neck bushings and a shellholder, while modified chambers require dedicated wildcat-specific full-length die sets.
