Does the Redding 71443 Type S Neck Die come with sizing bushings included?

No, the sizing bushings are sold separately to allow handloaders to select the exact dimension needed for their brass. It accepts standard Redding, Wilson, and Hornady bushings, which are available in 0.001 inch increments so you can precisely fine-tune your neck tension.

Can I use this neck sizing die for my semi-automatic 6mm Creedmoor rifle in the field?

Neck-sizing only is not recommended for semi-automatic rifles, as reliable feeding in autoloaders requires full-length resizing of the case. This die is engineered specifically for bolt-action rifles used in precision competitions or long-range hunting where cases are fired from and returned to the exact same chamber.

What press threading and shellholder do I need to set up the Redding 6mm Creedmoor Type S Bushing Die on my Australian reloading bench?

The die features standard 7/8 inch-14 reloading press threads, making it fully compatible with all standard single-stage and turret presses commonly used in Australia such as Redding, RCBS, Lee, and Hornady. You will also need a standard #1 shellholder (Redding Part #11001) or a Competition Shellholder #1 (Redding Part #11601).

Are there any Australian electrical or regulatory compliance requirements for this tool?

No, the Redding 71443 is a purely mechanical workshop tool containing zero electrical components. Consequently, 240V compatibility, SAA or RCM electrical certifications, and Australian electrical plug standards do not apply to this product.

6mm Creedmoor Neck Die - Redding 71443

The Redding Type S - Bushing Neck Sizing Die (MPN: 71443) is a precision handloading tool designed specifically for the 6mm Creedmoor cartridge. Built with a standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to fit standard reloading presses, it provides precise control over case neck tension without over-working the cartridge brass. Machined from heat-treated case-hardened alloy steel, this die resizes only the case neck while leaving the fire-formed body and shoulder dimensions intact, maximising brass longevity and concentricity for fire-formed cases fired in a specific bolt-action chamber.

Key Features

Interchangeable Bushing System: Utilises freely floating, self-centring sizing bushings (available in 0.001" increments, sold separately) compatible with standard Redding, Wilson, and Hornady neck bushings to achieve precise neck tension and minimise runout.
Adjustable Sizing Depth: Features an adjustable decapping rod assembly that allows reloaders to size the entire neck length or only a partial section of the case neck.
Dual Expander Configuration: Supplied with both a standard steel expander button for commercial unturned brass and a decapping pin retainer for neck-turned cases, eliminating unnecessary neck stretching during the sizing stroke.
Mechanical Operation: Fully manual workshop reloading die requiring no electrical connections or external power sources.

Who is the Redding 6mm Creedmoor Type S - Neck Die for?

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) and F-Class Competitors — Requires exact neck tension control in 0.001" increments on fire-formed 6mm Creedmoor brass using a standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading press to minimise concentricity runout and extend case life during heavy match firing schedules.
Long-Range Hunters with Bolt-Action Rifles — Handloads custom brass for dedicated bolt-action 6mm Creedmoor rifles, utilising the self-centring bushing system in a standard 7/8"-14 die body to maintain custom-fit fire-formed case dimensions without over-working the brass body.

Less suitable for: Semi-automatic rifles where reliable feeding requires full-length body sizing, or cases that have been fired multiple times and chamber tightly; reloaders in these scenarios require a full-length bushing sizing die or a dedicated body die to bump the shoulder and resize the case body.
