Is this neck sizing die compatible with my standard reloading press in Australia?

Yes, the Redding 71155 features standard 7/8"-14 reloading press threading, making it fully compatible with all common reloading presses used on Australian benches, including brands like Redding, RCBS, Hornady, Lyman, and Lee. As a purely mechanical handloading tool, it does not require electrical power, plugs, or SAA/RCM certifications.

Does the Redding Type S Neck Die come with sizing bushings included?

No, sizing bushings are sold separately. This die accepts standard Redding steel or titanium nitride interchangeable sizing bushings, typically ranging from 0.333" to 0.341" for the .308 Winchester cartridge, allowing you to precisely control bullet tension in 0.001" increments.

Can I use this neck sizing die for rounds fired in my semi-automatic AR-10?

Neck sizing dies alone are not recommended for semi-automatic, lever-action, or mixed-chamber rifles because they leave the case body and shoulder untouched. For gas-operated rifles requiring reliable feeding and cycling, a full-length bushing die or small base die should be used instead.

What should I do when my fire-formed brass begins to chamber stiffly after several reloads?

After 3 to 5 reload cycles, brass shoulders can experience growth and chambering resistance. When this occurs, you will need to pair this neck die with a dedicated Redding Body Die (Model 75155) to bump the shoulder back, or transition to a full-length sizing die.

.308 Neck Die - Redding 71155

The Redding 308 Win Type S - Neck Die (Model 71155) provides precise neck tension control and decapping for fire-formed .308 Winchester cartridge cases. Designed with a floating, interchangeable bushing system, this mechanical die sizes only the case neck to user-selected dimensions while leaving the fire-formed case body and shoulder dimensions undisturbed to maintain chamber fit and extend brass life.

Key Features

Interchangeable Bushing System: Accepts Redding steel or titanium nitride sizing bushings (sold separately) to adjust neck tension in increments of 0.001".
Self-Centering Floating Design: Allows the sizing bushing to float freely within the die body, self-centering on the case neck to minimise runout and improve concentricity.
Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Permits vertical adjustment of the decapping pin to enable full-length neck sizing or partial neck sizing.
Configurable Expander Ball: Includes a standard steel expander button that can be retained for neck-tension uniforming or removed for minimal brass working with neck-turned brass.
Standard Press Fitment: Machined with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads to mount directly into standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses.

Specifications

Cartridge Compatibility: .308 Winchester (accepts .308" diameter projectiles)
Thread Interface: Standard 7/8"-14 reloading press threading
Shellholder Fitment: Requires standard Redding #1 Shellholder (#11001) or Competition Shellholder #1 (#11601) (sold separately)
Bushing Range Compatibility: Accepts standard Redding sizing bushings (typically 0.333" to 0.341" for .308 Winchester)
Operation: Fully mechanical, manual reloading press operation

Who is the Redding 308 Win Type S - Neck Die for?

Precision bolt-action rifle reloaders seeking minimum runout — mounts into standard 7/8"-14 reloading presses and uses a floating bushing system to size fire-formed .308 Winchester necks without altering body dimensions, maximising concentricity.
Handloaders dedicating fire-formed brass to a single rifle chamber — provides neck-only resizing for .308 Winchester cases, maintaining the exact fire-formed shoulder profile to increase case life across multiple firings.

Less suitable for: Handloaders loading for semi-automatic rifles, lever-action rifles, or multiple different firearms, where full-length sizing dies or small base sizing dies are required to ensure reliable feeding; and brass exceeding 3 to 5 reload cycles where shoulder growth causes chambering resistance, requiring a dedicated body die or full-length sizing die to bump the shoulder back.
