What shellholder do I need to use with the Redding 338 Lapua Magnum Type S Match Die Set?

This die set requires a Redding #35 standard shellholder (MPN 11035) or a #35 competition shellholder set (MPN 11635), which are sold separately. The dies feature a standard industry 7/8"-14 thread interface, making them fully compatible with common Australian single-stage and turret presses like the Redding Big Boss or RCBS Rock Chucker.

Does the Type S sizing die come with neck sizing bushings included in the box?

No, the interchangeable neck sizing bushings are sold separately so you can select the exact size needed based on your brass wall thickness and loaded round measurements. The sizing die accepts standard Redding neck sizing bushings in .001" increments to allow precise control over neck tension and extend brass life.

Can I use this die set to reload other large magnums like the .338 Norma Magnum?

No, this die set is strictly engineered for the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge case and cannot resize or seat other .338-calibre cartridges without separate dedicated tooling. Attempting to use it with different case dimensions will result in improper sizing and potential damage to your components.

What is included in the die set to prevent bullet tip deformation when seating high-BC match bullets?

The set features a Competition Bullet Seating Die equipped with a micrometer adjustment head graduated down to .001" increments and a spring-loaded alignment sleeve that captures the case and bullet before seating. While it comes with a standard seating stem, Redding also offers an optional dedicated VLD seating stem (MPN 55733) specifically designed for ultra-long, high-BC low-drag match bullets.

Redding 36594 Die Set - Redding 36594

The Redding 338 Lapua Magnum Type S - Match Full Die Set (MPN 36594) is a two-die reloading system engineered to resize brass cases and seat .338" diameter bullets to precise tolerances. Designed for standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses, this set combines a Type S Full-Length Bushing Sizing Die (MPN 77594) with a Competition Bullet Seating Die (MPN 55594). It provides handloaders with precise control over case neck tension while minimising runout and brass fatigue during full-length resizing operations.

Key Features

Interchangeable Bushing Sizer: Utilises freely floating, self-centering neck sizing bushings (available separately in .001" increments) to adjust neck tension without overworking the brass.
Straight-Line Competition Seater: Features a patented internal alignment sleeve that captures and aligns the cartridge case and bullet before seating begins to maximise concentricity.
Micrometer Seating Depth Control: Incorporates a top-mounted micrometer adjustment head graduated down to .001" increments for repeatable bullet seating depth.
Configurable Decapping Assembly: Includes both an expander button and a decapping pin retainer to permit resizing with or without an internal expander ball.
Body Die Versatility: Allows the user to remove the internal bushing assembly to operate the sizer strictly as a body die.

Who is the Redding 338 Lapua Magnum Type S - Match Full Die Set for?

Extreme Long Range (ELR) Competitors — Requires the micrometer seating head graduated in .001" increments on this 338 Lapua Magnum die set to establish exact, repeatable bullet jump and maintain minimal cartridge runout.
Long-Range Hunters — Relies on this 338 Lapua Magnum reloading die set to full-length resize high-pressure .338" cartridge cases to factory body dimensions while matching standard 7/8"-14 press threads for dependable chambering in the field.
Precision Rifle Reloaders — Needs interchangeable neck bushings stepping in .001" increments within this 338 Lapua Magnum die set to fine-tune neck tension for sub-MOA uniformity while extending the working life of heavy brass cases.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to resize other .338-calibre cartridges such as the .338 Winchester Magnum or .338 Norma Magnum; dedicated calibre-specific full-length die sets are required for those distinct cartridge geometries.
