What reloading presses are compatible with the Redding 56111 .223 Rem Competition Neck Die?

The Redding 56111 features standard 7/8"-14 reloading press threading, making it fully compatible with almost all standard single-stage and turret presses commonly used in Australian workshops, including models from Redding, RCBS, Lyman, and Hornady.

Does this neck die come with sizing bushings included, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The competition neck die requires interchangeable Redding sizing bushings, which must be sourced separately to match your specific brass case-neck wall thickness. For instance, matching items like the Redding 73333 neck sizing bushing can be paired depending on your exact loaded neck dimensions.

Can I use this neck die for .223 Remington ammunition intended for semi-automatic or lever-action rifles?

No, this is a neck sizing only die that does not resize the case body or bump the shoulder. Manufacturer guidelines dictate that when loading for semi-automatic, pump-action, or lever-action rifles—or if cases exhibit stiff bolt closure—you should switch to a full-length bushing die or a dedicated body die.

How does the sliding alignment sleeve and micrometer adjustment improve reloading precision?

The sliding alignment sleeve supports the entire cartridge body to ensure high concentricity before sizing begins. Additionally, the top micrometer adjustment head is calibrated in 0.001" increments, allowing you to precisely control bushing depth and neck tension for superior bullet alignment.

223 Rem Neck Die - Redding 56111

The Redding Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Die (SKU: 56111) is a micro-adjustable reloading die engineered specifically for fire-formed .223 Remington and 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge brass. Built from heat-treated alloy steel, it utilizes a free-floating neck bushing system and an internal sliding alignment sleeve that fully supports the cartridge body before sizing begins. This design eliminates the need for an expander ball, preventing brass work-hardening while centering the case to produce tight concentricity and minimal bullet runout on standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses.

Key Features

Sliding Alignment Sleeve: Encases and aligns the entire cartridge body prior to neck sizing to ensure optimal concentricity between the case neck and body axis.
Free-Floating Bushing Design: Accommodates standard interchangeable Redding neck sizing bushings to set precise neck tension without an expander ball, extending brass life.
Micrometer Depth Adjustment: Features a top-mounted micrometer head calibrated in 0.001" increments to control the exact length of the neck being sized.
Durable Construction: Fabricated from precision-machined, heat-treated alloy steel for long-term wear resistance during high-volume precision reloading.
