The Redding 6mm PPC Small Base Type S – Full Length Resizing/Bushing Die (Item #77211) is a precision reloading tool engineered to resize cartridge cases for firearms with tight-tolerance chambers. It sizes the cartridge body and lower web area slightly below standard SAAMI dimensions to prevent stiff bolt closure and guarantee smooth cycling. Built with an interchangeable bushing system, it gives reloaders precise control over case neck tension without overworking the brass, ensuring enhanced concentricity and reduced runout for competitive benchrest applications.

Key Features

  • Small-Base Sizing Profile: Sizes the lower case web and body narrower than standard dies to ensure reliable feeding and easy bolt closure in tight match chambers.
  • Interchangeable Bushing System: Accepts Redding neck sizing bushings (adjustable in 0.001-inch increments) to manage neck tension accurately while preventing work-hardening.
  • Self-Centering Neck Bushing: Utilises a free-floating bushing design to improve case alignment and minimise bullet runout.
  • Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Features an adjustable decapping rod assembly (#10242) and includes a decapping pin retainer to permit resizing without an expander button.
  • Body Die Versatility: Can be converted to function as a dedicated small-base body die by removing the bushing and internal decapping rod assembly.

Who is the Redding 6mm PPC Small Base Type S Full Length Die for?

  • Australian benchrest competition shooters — Requires precise neck tension control and smooth chambering for the 6mm PPC cartridge (0.243 in bullet diameter) across standard 7/8"-14 threaded single-stage or turret presses.
  • Custom rifle builders — Employs a small-base full length reloading die profile to eliminate bolt-closing resistance and ensure reliable case extraction in tight-tolerance match chambers threaded for standard 7/8"-14 tooling.

Less suitable for: Standard factory or loose-spec chambers; small-base dies work the lower case wall more aggressively than required, making standard Type S full-length dies or standard neck-sizing dies better suited to preserve overall brass life.
