The Redding .260 Remington Body Die (Model 75531) is a dedicated reloading tool designed to full-length resize cartridge case walls and bump the datum shoulder back to factory specifications without contacting the case neck. Machined with standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses, this non-electric mechanical die is bored oversized through the neck area to preserve fire-formed neck dimensions and concentricity. It operates without an internal decapping pin, depriming stem, or expander button, making it a companion die for handloaders who size case necks in a separate operation.

Key Features

• Dedicated Body and Shoulder Sizing: Resets case body dimensions and bumps the shoulder back to maintain proper headspace and ensure smooth bolt closure.
• Zero Neck Contact: Features an oversized neck bore that leaves the cartridge neck untouched, preserving tuned neck tension and brass concentricity.
• No Internal Components: Contains no decapping assembly or expander ball, preventing unwanted neck stretching during the sizing stroke.
• Standard Press Integration: Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 exterior threads and includes a steel knurled lock ring for secure press mounting.

Who is the Redding 260 Rem Body Die for?

• Precision rifle handloaders — provides a dedicated 260 Remington body die that restores headspace and case dimensions on standard 7/8"-14 thread presses without disturbing fire-formed necks prepared with separate bushing or neck-sizing dies.
• Target shooters — restores chambering reliability for .260 Remington brass fired in bolt-action rifles when repeated firings cause tight chambering, bumping the datum shoulder without requiring full-length neck expansion.

Less suitable for: semi-automatic platforms requiring small-base sizing dies, tight-tolerance match chambers requiring minimum SAAMI base dimensioning, or .260 Remington Improved 40° chambers, which require a dedicated 40-degree improved body die.
