Does the Redding 71317 die come with sizing bushings included, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The Redding 71317 Type S Neck Bushing Die does not include bushings, which must be purchased separately in 0.001-inch increments to match your specific brass and projectile combination. For instance, many handloaders pair this die with Titanium Nitride neck sizing bushings like the Redding 76247 (0.247 inch) depending on their neck wall thickness and loaded round measurements.

Can I use this neck sizing die if I am reloading brass that was fired in multiple different bolt-action rifles?

No, neck-only sizing with the Redding 71317 is specifically designed for fire-formed brass that is being reloaded for the exact same rifle chamber. If you are cycling brass across multiple firearms or experiencing bolt-close resistance from repeatedly fired cases, you will need to incorporate a Redding body die or switch to a full-length sizing die.

What shellholder do I need to use with this die in my reloading press?

The Redding 71317 uses standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit most reloading presses and requires a standard Redding Shellholder #1 (Part #11001) or a Redding Competition Shellholder #1 (Part #11601) to securely hold the 6mm BR case during the sizing stroke.

Are there any electrical or regulatory certifications required for this tool in Australia?

No electrical regulations, 240V compatibility, or SAA/RCM certifications apply to this product. The Redding 71317 is a fully manual, mechanical reloading tool requiring no power source, making it entirely exempt from electrical compliance standards for outback or workshop use in Australia.

6mm BR Neck Die - Redding 71317

The Redding 6mm BR Remington Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Part Number: 71317) provides precise control over case neck tension and decapping for fire-formed 6mm B.R. Remington cartridge brass. Engineered specifically for precision reloading, this die works only the case neck, leaving the body and fire-formed shoulder dimensions untouched to maintain an exact fit with the rifle's chamber. Mounted via standard 7/8"-14 threads, it supports precision bolt-action rifle shooting by minimising brass fatigue and maximising concentricity.

Key Features

Interchangeable Bushing System: Utilises self-centring sizing bushings available in 0.001" increments (sold separately) to precisely set neck tension without overworking cartridge brass.
Infinitely Adjustable Sizing Depth: The internal decapping rod assembly allows handloaders to adjust bushing depth to size either the complete neck length or a partial fraction of the neck.
Dual Expander Configuration: Includes a steel decapping rod assembly, size button, and a dedicated decapping pin retainer to allow for sizing with or without an expander ball.
Standard Press Integration: Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 die mounting threads compatible with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.
Calibre-Specific Shellholder Fit: Compatible with standard Redding Shellholder #1 (Part #11001) and Competition Shellholder #1 (Part #11601) for .243" projectile diameter 6mm BR cases.

Who is the Redding 6mm BR Type S Neck Bushing Die for?

6mm BR Benchrest and F-Class Precision Handloaders — Sizes case necks with interchangeable bushings adjustable in 0.001" increments, allowing exact neck tension control for consistent bullet release on match brass.
Match Shooters Reloading Fire-Formed Brass for Bolt-Action Rifles — Uses an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread die body to decap and neck-size fired cases without altering the fire-formed case body or shoulder geometry.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing brass fired across multiple rifles, running semi-automatic platforms, or experiencing bolt-close chambering resistance due to expanded case shoulders; these conditions require a full-length sizing die, small-base die, or a dedicated body die to bump the shoulder back.
