The Redding 26 Nosler Type S – Full Length Bushing Die (Mfg #77261) is a precision reloading tool engineered to resize the entire case body, bump the shoulder, and maintain exact neck tension for high-pressure .26 Nosler (.264" bullet diameter) cartridges. Built from heat-treated steel, this die features a self-centring, floating neck bushing system that minimises case neck runout. It mounts directly into standard single-stage, turret, or progressive reloading presses using a 7/8"-14 thread interface. Reloaders can adjust the decapping assembly to size the full neck or partial neck length, or remove the bushing and decapping assembly entirely to use the unit as a dedicated body die.

• Full-Length Sizing with Bushing Control: Resizes the complete case body to factory specifications while allowing precise neck tension adjustment via interchangeable sizing bushings (typically spanning 0.287" to 0.295", sold separately).
• Self-Centring Floating Bushing: Floats inside the die cap to self-align on the cartridge neck, ensuring optimal concentricity and reducing bullet runout.
• Dual Neck Sizing Options: Includes both a standard expander button and a decapping pin retainer to allow neck sizing without an expander, preventing brass overworking.
• Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Enables partial or full-length neck sizing to customise brass preparation for specific rifle chambers.
• Body Die Conversion: Functions as a standalone body die when the internal bushing and decapping rod assembly are removed.

Who is the Redding 26 Nosler Type S - Full Length Bushing Die for?

• Precision long-range hunters loading .26 Nosler — Full-length case body resizing combined with precise 0.287" to 0.295" neck bushing tension control delivers both smooth, reliable field chambering and optimal bullet grip for high-velocity .26 Nosler hunting ammunition.
• Target shooters reloading .26 Nosler cartridges — Standard 7/8"-14 press mounting and a self-centring bushing assembly minimise concentricity runout on .26 Nosler brass without overworking the neck brass during benchrest-grade full length reloading die operations.

Less suitable for: Handloaders working with other 6.5mm or large-capacity cartridges (such as 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 28 Nosler, or 30 Nosler), which require cartridge-specific full length sizing dies, or handloaders who only require fire-formed neck resizing for a single bolt-action rifle, who are better served by a dedicated neck-only sizing die.
