What size bushings do I need to purchase separately for the Redding 71111 .223 Remington Type S die?

The Redding 71111 utilizes interchangeable neck sizing bushings that are sold separately and typically range from .243" to .251" for the .223 Remington calibre. You will need to measure your loaded cartridge brass neck diameter and select the appropriate bushing size in 0.001" increments to achieve your desired neck tension.

Is this neck sizing die suitable for use with my semi-automatic .223 rifle or AR-15 platform?

No, the Redding 71111 is a neck-sizing-only die that does not size the case body or push back the shoulder, meaning it is strictly recommended for fire-formed brass used in bolt-action rifles. If you are loading ammunition for semi-automatic, pump, or lever-action .223 rifles, or if your cases exhibit heavy bolt-lift resistance after 3 to 5 firings, you should use a full-length sizing die instead.

Does this die come with a standard shellholder, or do I need to buy one separately?

The Redding 71111 die does not include a shellholder; it must be purchased separately. It is fully compatible with standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses and requires a standard #10 shellholder, such as the Redding PN 11010 or Competition shellholder PN 11610.

Does the Redding 71111 require any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certification for use in Australia?

No electrical compliance, 240V ratings, or SAA/RCM certifications are required for the Redding 71111. As a precision-machined, heat-treated hardened steel reloading tool, it is purely mechanical and operates entirely by manual press leverage in your workshop.

Neck Sizing Die - Redding 71111

The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die for .223 Remington (MPN 71111) provides precision control over neck tension and case dimensions for .224" diameter projectile handloads. Built from heat-treated hardened steel, this reloading die sizes solely the case neck while leaving the fire-formed body and shoulder dimensions undisturbed. It incorporates a self-centering, freely floating bushing system that minimises concentricity runout, reducing brass work-hardening by up to 0.008" to 0.010" compared to standard fixed sizing dies.

Key Features

Adjustable Neck Tension: Uses interchangeable steel or titanium nitride bushings in 0.001" increments to set exact bullet grip.
Self-Centering Floating Bushing: Bushing floats within the die body to align self-centring geometry with the case neck axis.
Dual Decapping Configuration: Includes a complete decapping rod assembly with a standard size expander button (PN 39223) as well as a decapping pin retainer for buttonless sizing of uniform case necks.
Extended Brass Life: Neck-only sizing prevents unnecessary working of the case body and shoulder, prolonging case life across multiple firings.

Who is the Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die for .223 Remington for?

Precision handloaders shooting .223 Remington bolt-action rifles — sizes .223 Remington cartridge necks using interchangeable bushings spanning a .243" to .251" range to tune exact bullet release without overworking brass dimensions.
Varmint hunters reloading fire-formed brass for a dedicated chamber — mounts into any standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading press to size case necks while preserving the custom fire-formed fit of the case body to a single rifle chamber.
F-Class, PRS, and benchrest competitors targeting 100 to 1000+ metre disciplines — eliminates brass overworking by up to 0.008" to 0.010" with a self-centering floating bushing that minimises bullet runout across short-range benchrest and 1,000+ yard target courses.

Less suitable for: Fire-formed cases exhibiting heavy bolt-lift resistance (typically after 3 to 5 firings) or cartridges intended for semi-automatic, pump, or lever-action actions such as AR-15 platforms, which require a full-length bushing sizing die or a dedicated body die to restore factory body and shoulder clearances.
