The Redding 260 Rem Type S - Elite Bushing Die Set (MPN 60531) is a 3-die precision handloading system engineered specifically for .260 Remington cartridges loaded with 0.264-inch diameter projectiles. Designed for standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses, this set provides complete control over case neck sizing, body resizing, and bullet seating alignment. It includes a Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die, a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, and a Redding Competition Bullet Seating Die featuring a micrometer-adjustable head and a sliding alignment sleeve to minimise bullet runout.

Key Features

• Precision Neck Sizing Control: Both the full-length and neck-sizing dies accept standard Redding interchangeable sizing bushings (typically 0.287" to 0.295" for .260 Rem), allowing users to adjust neck tension in increments of 0.001" without overworking brass.
• Competition Micrometer Seater: The included Competition Bullet Seating Die utilizes an internal sliding sleeve to align the bullet and case before seating, with a top-mounted micrometer that adjusts seating depth in direct 0.001" increments.
• Dual Sizing Options: Switch between neck-only resizing for fire-formed brass in bolt-action rifles and full-length resizing for field reliability; removing internal parts allows the full-length die to function as a body die.
• Standard Thread Mounting: Fitted with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads for compatibility with single-stage and turret presses commonly used by Australian handloaders.

Who is the Redding 260 Rem Type S - Elite Bushing Die Set for?

• PRS and NRL precision rifle competitors — requires precise cartridge consistency for .260 Remington match rifles, facilitated by the Redding 260 Rem Type S - Elite Bushing Die Set with its micrometer seating depth adjustments tuned down to 0.001" increments.
• F-Class and benchrest handloaders — balances bullet alignment and minimal runout using this 260 Remington reloading die set, which controls neck tension via interchangeable bushings stepped in 0.001" increments across standard 7/8"-14 thread reloading presses.
• Bolt-action precision reloaders — benefits from maintaining fire-formed case dimensions for dedicated .260 Remington chambers by switching between neck-sizing and full-length sizing dies utilizing interchangeable bushings stepped in 0.001" increments.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing non-standard chambers such as .260 Remington Ackley Improved (40°) or 6.5 Creedmoor cases, or those loading for tight semi-automatic actions (such as AR-10 platforms) experiencing chambering resistance, which require dedicated calibre-specific or small-base full-length sizing dies.
