The Redding 308 Win National Match Die Set (Part Number: 39155) is a precision three-die reloading kit engineered for assembling match-grade .308 Winchester ammunition. Built with standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit common single-stage and turret reloading presses, this mechanical hand-loading set delivers tight concentricity and reliable feeding for high-power target rifles, bolt actions, and semi-automatic platforms.

Key Features

• Carbide Expander Button: Full-length sizing die features a free-floating carbide size and expander button that reduces inside-neck friction and case stretching without requiring heavy inside-neck lubrication.
• Competition Bullet Seating Die: Uses an internal sliding sleeve alignment chamber that fully supports the cartridge case and projectile prior to seating, virtually eliminating runout.
• Micrometer Adjustment: The seating die is equipped with a micrometer head graduated in 0.001" increments for precise, repeatable bullet seating depth adjustments across different projectile profiles.
• Dedicated Taper Crimp Die: Applies a uniform taper crimp in a separate operation to secure projectiles for magazine feeding without buckling case mouths or altering seating depth.

Who is the Redding 308 Win National Match Die Set for?

• High-Power Target Competitors — Need match-grade ammunition concentricity across 100-yard to 1,000-plus-yard courses of fire, utilising a competition seating die with 0.001" micrometer graduations and a dedicated taper crimp die to ensure smooth box-magazine cycling in NRA Across the Course and Long Range Service Rifle disciplines.
• Precision Rifle Series and F-Class Shooters — Require minimal neck runout and rapid seating depth tuning for .308 Winchester loads, relying on this .308 Winchester reloading die set with standard 7/8"-14 press threads to seat standard and VLD projectiles with 0.001" precision.

Less suitable for: Shooters requiring customised neck-tension adjustment, who need a Type S bushing sizing die with interchangeable bushings rather than a standard full-length die, or tight match semi-automatic chambers requiring an undersized small-base sizing die to guarantee chambering.
