The Redding Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Model 71531) provides precise neck tension control and decapping for .260 Remington cartridge cases without altering the fire-formed dimensions of the case body or shoulder. Designed for bolt-action precision shooting, it utilizes a freely floating, interchangeable bushing system that self-centres on the case neck to minimise brass fatigue and reduce runout. Standard 7/8"-14 threading ensures compatibility across standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Key Features

• Bushing Neck Sizing: Accommodates freely floating Redding neck bushings to adjust bullet grip in precise increments without overworking brass necks.
• Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Features a decapping rod assembly with an expander button and decapping pin retainer; the expander button can be removed when sizing uniform, neck-turned brass.
• Partial Sizing Control: The decapping stem adjusts vertically, allowing reloaders to size the full neck length or apply partial neck sizing to maintain fire-formed alignment.
• Standard Press Mounting: Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 die threads and includes a Redding die lock ring for secure, repeatable bench setup.

Who is the Redding Type S Neck Sizing Die for .260 Remington for?

• Long-range target shooters using bolt-action .260 Remington rifles — Relies on interchangeable neck bushings spanning .287" to .295" to precisely regulate bullet grip and eliminate excess brass working, allowing this Type S neck sizing die to preserve fire-formed case body dimensions for optimal chamber concentricity.
• Deer and varmint hunters handloading match-grade ammunition for a single rifle chamber — Utilises standard 7/8"-14 press threading and partial neck-sizing adjustment to maintain uniform neck tension across repeat reloads while preserving the specific fire-formed case geometry of a dedicated hunting rifle.

Less suitable for: Semi-automatic or lever-action rifles, brass fired across multiple chambers, or cases that have undergone 3 to 5 firing cycles and require shoulder bumping to prevent bolt-closure resistance (where a full-length bushing die, small base bushing die, or dedicated body die is required); additionally unsuitable for neck reductions exceeding .004" to .005" in a single pass without using intermediate step-down bushings.
