The Redding 77114 Type S Full Length Bushing Die for .243 Winchester provides precise case resizing and exact neck tension control for precision rifle handloaders. Designed to resize the entire case body and bump the shoulder back to standard SAAMI dimensions, this die simultaneously controls case neck sizing through interchangeable standard sizing bushings. By allowing the bushing to self-centre freely on the case neck, it minimises runout and improves neck-to-body concentricity. Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading, the die installs into any standard single-stage or progressive reloading press.

• Full-Length Sizing with Bushing Control: Simultaneously sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder of .243 Winchester brass while allowing custom neck tension adjustment via interchangeable Redding bushings.
• Self-Centering Bushing Mechanism: Holds the sizing bushing with slight clearance to self-align with the case neck axis, reducing neck runout during the sizing stroke.
• Configurable Expander Assembly: Features an adjustable decapping rod with a steel expander ball, as well as an included decapping pin retainer that allows reloaders using uniform neck-turned brass to size without an expander ball to prevent over-working the brass.
• Body Die Versatility: Can be converted to a dedicated body die to bump shoulders without altering the neck by removing the internal bushing and decapping assembly.
