The Redding 36387 .224 Valkyrie Type S Match Bushing Full Length Die Set is a precision two-die system designed to resize cartridge cases and seat bullets with tight concentricity. Built around standard 7/8"-14 threads, the set includes a Type S Full Length Resizing Die and a Competition Bullet Seating Die. The sizing die uses interchangeable, self-centering bushings to resize the case body, bump the shoulder, and size the neck without overworking the brass. The competition seating die incorporates an internal alignment sleeve that holds the cartridge and projectile in straight alignment before seating, guided by a top micrometer adjustable in .001" increments.

Key Features

• Interchangeable Neck Bushings: The Type S Full Length Resizing Die uses free-floating, self-centering bushings (typically spanning 0.246" to 0.254") to regulate neck tension without overworking brass.
• Competition Micrometer Seating Die: Features a sliding alignment sleeve and a micrometer top graduated in .001" increments for exact, repeatable bullet seating depth.
• Full-Length Sizing with Decapping Assembly: Resizes case bodies and bumps shoulders back to factory dimensions while maintaining an adjustable decapping rod, decapping pin retainer, and standard size button.
• Reduced Runout: The floating bushing and guided seating sleeve minimize bullet and neck runout for uniform cartridge concentricity.

Who is the Redding 36387 224 Valkyrie Type S Match Bushing Full Length Die Set for?

• Precision rifle competitors reloading for .224 Valkyrie gas guns or bolt-action rifles — Full-length resizes cases back to chamber dimensions on standard 7/8"-14 thread presses while enabling .001" micrometer-graduated seating depth adjustments for competition consistency.
• Handloaders seeking to eliminate concentricity runout and precisely control neck tension — Employs a self-centering Type S Match Bushing Full Length Die Set system utilizing interchangeable bushings calibrated across the 0.246" to 0.254" range to match specific brass neck thicknesses without sizing buttons dragging through the neck.

Less suitable for: Handloaders who exclusively shoot fire-formed brass in custom bolt-action rifles and want to avoid body resizing altogether, where a neck-sizing-only die set is better suited; or shooters who do not measure neck wall thicknesses and prefer a standard full-length 2-die set with a fixed expander ball.
