Will the Redding 75623 Body Die alter the neck diameter or decap spent primers on my 260 Rem Ackley Improved brass?

No, this body die is engineered with zero internal parts, meaning it does not contain a decapping assembly, expander ball, or neck bushings. It is designed solely to resize the case body and bump the 40-degree shoulder back without touching or altering the case neck diameter.

What reloading presses and shellholders are compatible with the Redding 260 Rem Ackley Improved Body Die?

This die features an industry-standard 7/8"-14 threaded body, making it fully compatible with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses widely used in Australia such as Redding, RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, and Lee. For proper case retention, it requires a standard Redding Shellholder #1 or a Competition Shellholder Set #11601, which are sold separately.

Can I use this body die to resize loaded ammunition or standard non-improved 260 Remington cases?

No, this die is cut exclusively for .260 Remington Ackley Improved 40-degree chambers and will not function correctly with standard 20-degree .260 Remington cases or other wildcats. Furthermore, body dies are not safe to use on loaded ammunition and must only be operated on empty fired brass with a quality sizing lubricant like Imperial Sizing Wax.

Ackley Improved Body Die - Redding 75623

The Redding 260 Rem Ackley Improved 40° Body Die is a dedicated handloading tool designed to full-length resize case bodies and push back the shoulder geometry of fired brass without touching the neck. Engineered specifically for the .260 Remington Ackley Improved cartridge, it features no internal decapping assembly, expander ball, or neck bushings. This design allows handloaders to manage shoulder bump and case diameter independently from neck tension, eliminating unwanted neck runout during the body sizing process.

Key Features

Independent Body Sizing: Resizes case body dimensions and bumps the shoulder back to proper headspace while bypassing the case neck entirely.
No Internal Components: Contains zero internal parts, eliminating decapping assemblies or expander balls that could work or distort the brass neck.
Universal Press Interface: Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads to mount directly into standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.
Two-Step Workflow Ready: Integrates into advanced loading sequences alongside dedicated bushing neck dies, allowing brass to be bumped only when chambering resistance occurs.

Who is the Redding 260 Rem Ackley Improved 40° Body Die for?

Precision handloaders reloading for wildcat rifles — requires an exact 40 degree shoulder angle bump and body sizing profile tailored strictly for fire-formed .260 Remington Ackley Improved chambers without disturbing dialed-in neck dimensions.
Competitive shooters utilizing a two-step sizing workflow — provides case body reduction via standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses to restore easy chambering while leaving case necks untouched for independent sizing with dedicated bushing dies.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking single-pass depriming and sizing, shooters running standard 20° .260 Remington factory chambers, or anyone handling loaded ammunition; use a full-length sizing die with an integrated decapping rod on empty fired brass instead.
