The Redding Type S – Bushing Neck Sizing Die – .22 Creedmoor (MPN 71302) provides precise control over neck tension and case mouth concentricity for fire-formed .22 Creedmoor cartridge cases. Designed with standard 7/8"-14 reloading press threading, this die uses interchangeable sizing bushings to size brass neck outer diameters to exact tolerances without over-working the brass or sizing the case body and shoulder. It features an adjustable decapping rod assembly that allows reloaders to size the full neck length or set a partial sizing depth, and it can be run with the standard expander button or without it using the included decapping pin retainer.

• Interchangeable Bushing System: Accepts standard neck sizing bushings (steel or titanium nitride) in 0.001" increments from Redding, Wilson, Hornady, or RCBS (bushings sold separately).
• Adjustable Sizing Depth: The vertically adjustable decapping rod assembly enables handloaders to size either the complete neck length or a partial portion of the neck.
• Expander Button Flexibility: Ships with a standard decapping pin and size button, with the option to remove the expander button entirely to eliminate neck runout on uniform, neck-turned brass.
• Cartridge-Specific Geometry: Configured precisely for .22 Creedmoor brass using .224" diameter projectiles.
• Standard Press Interface: Features industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading to fit conventional single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 22 Creedmoor Type S - Neck Die for?

• Precision target shooters — provides neck outer diameter sizing control in 0.001" increments using interchangeable bushings on standard 7/8"-14 presses, minimizing brass fatigue and preserving fire-formed dimensions for dedicated bolt-action rifles.
• PRS and NRL rifle competitors — allows running the Type S neck sizing die without an expander ball to eliminate runout on fire-formed .22 Creedmoor brass, maintaining strict concentricity across high-volume match preparation cycles.
• Long-range varmint hunters — sizes fire-formed .22 Creedmoor neck brass precisely with user-selected 0.001" incremental bushings to dial in exact bullet hold without over-working brass during repeated field loadings.

Less suitable for: Cartridges intended for semi-automatic actions, mixed rifle chambers, or brass after 3–5 firings where head-to-shoulder stretch causes stiff bolt closure; in these cases, a full-length bushing die or dedicated body die is required to bump shoulders back 0.001"–0.002" and ensure reliable chambering.
