What size neck bushings do I need to purchase separately for the Redding 284 Winchester Type S Die?

The Type S die uses interchangeable sizing bushings available in .001 inch increments to precisely adjust your neck tension without over-working the brass. It also accepts compatible Hornady and Wilson-style bushings. If you need a specific size for standard brass, the Redding 73333 0.333 inch neck sizing bushing is a popular option depending on your brass wall thickness.

Does this neck die resize the case body or shoulder, and what happens if my bolt closure becomes stiff?

No, this is strictly a neck-sizing die designed for brass previously fire-formed in your specific rifle chamber, meaning it does not alter the body or shoulder. When repeatedly neck-sized cases eventually expand to the point that bolt closure becomes tight or stiff, Redding recommends switching to a Full-Length Sizing Die (Part #77141) or adding a Redding Body Die (Part #75141) to bump the shoulder.

Do I need a firearm licence to purchase this Redding 284 Winchester Type S Die in Australia?

No firearm licence endorsement is required to purchase this reloading die itself in any Australian state or territory, as it is classified as a non-restricted mechanical accessory. However, please note that other active reloading components like gunpowder and primers remain strictly state-regulated.

284 Win Neck Die - Redding 71141

The Redding 284 Winchester Type S - Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Part #71141) is a precision reloading tool engineered to resize cartridge case necks without altering the case body or shoulder dimensions of fire-formed brass. Designed for the .284 Winchester cartridge taking a .284" bullet diameter, this fully mechanical die mounts to standard reloading presses via industry-standard 7/8"-14 TPI threading. It allows handloaders to maintain tight control over neck tension and case concentricity, extending brass life by eliminating unnecessary working of the case wall.

Key Features

Interchangeable Bushing System: Accepts Redding Type S neck sizing bushings (as well as compatible Wilson and Hornady bushings) adjustable in .001" increments, allowing exact neck tension adjustment without over-working cartridge brass.
Self-Centering Floating Design: The sizing bushing freely floats within the die body to self-centre over the case neck, minimising bullet runout.
Adjustable Sizing Depth: Features an adjustable decapping rod assembly that allows reloaders to size the entire neck or only a partial length of the case neck.
Dual Configuration Setup: Includes both a standard size/expander button for commercial unturned case necks and a decapping pin retainer for turned brass requiring sizing without an expander button.
Standard Press Integration: Operates on standard single-stage or turret presses utilising standard 7/8"-14 TPI mounting threads and functions with Redding #1 standard or competition shellholders.

Who is the Redding 284 Winchester Type S - Neck Die for?

F-Class Open and TR target competitors shooting 284 Winchester — who require minimal bullet runout and precise neck tension control across .284" bullet diameter fire-formed cases using self-centring bushings mounted in standard 7/8"-14 TPI presses.
Precision hunters reloading 284 Winchester for bolt-action rifles — who want to maximise case life and maintain custom-formed brass dimensions for .284" bullet diameter cartridges by resizing only the neck on standard 7/8"-14 TPI reloading equipment.

Less suitable for: Fire-formed cases that have expanded through repeated firing cycles to cause tight or stiff bolt closure during chambering; handloaders encountering this resistance require a full-length sizing die or a dedicated body die to bump the shoulder and resize the case body.
