What neck bushings and shellholder are required to use the Redding 77287 Type S Full Length Die?

This die requires standard Redding neck bushings, which are available in sizes ranging from .221" to .229" depending on your brass thickness. It also requires a standard Redding Shellholder #10 or Competition Shellholder #10, which must be purchased separately. The die itself features a standard 7/8"-14 thread pattern compatible with most reloading presses.

Can this die be used for other .20-calibre cartridges like the .20 Tactical?

No, the Redding 77287 Type S Die is exclusively machined for .204 Ruger cases and will not function correctly with other .20-calibre cartridges. Using it with different calibres can result in improper case sizing, damaged brass, or potential chambering issues in your rifle.

Does this mechanical reloading die require any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certification for use in Australia?

No, because this is a completely manual, non-powered metallic reloading tool, it requires no electrical power or batteries. Therefore, it does not fall under Australian SAA or RCM electrical compliance frameworks and can be freely set up on your reloading bench anywhere in Australia.

How do I set up the adjustable decapping assembly for partial or full neck sizing?

The die features an adjustable decapping rod that allows you to configure the internal components to suit your specific reloading preferences. By removing the internal neck bushing and decapping assembly entirely, you can even convert the die body to function strictly as a body die for shoulder bumping and case body sizing without altering the neck.

204 Ruger Sizing Die - Redding 77287

The Redding 204 Ruger Type S - Full Length Die is a precision metallic reloading tool engineered to resize the case body, bump shoulder headspace, and size the case neck for .204 Ruger cartridge cases in a single operation. Machined from alloy steel with standard 7/8"-14 mounting threads, it incorporates an interchangeable neck bushing system that freely self-centres on the case neck to optimise concentricity and prevent excessive brass working. By removing the internal bushing and decapping assembly, the die can also serve purely as a body die for shoulder bump and body resizing.

Key Features

Full-Length Resizing: Restores case body dimensions and bumps shoulder headspace back to chamber specifications while sizing the case neck.
Self-Centring Bushing System: Accepts interchangeable neck bushings that self-centre to minimise runout and control neck tension in exact increments.
Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Enables reloaders to configure the decapping rod to size the full length or a partial length of the case neck.
Body Die Functionality: Operates as a standalone body die to bump shoulders and size bodies when the decapping rod and neck bushing are removed.

Who is the Redding 204 Ruger Type S - Full Length Die for?

Precision reloaders loading .204 Ruger for varmint hunting — Requires full-length resizing to ensure reliable chamber feeding in bolt-action rifles, utilizing interchangeable bushings across a .221" to .229" range to set precise neck tension without overworking brass.
Benchrest and target shooters seeking maximum bullet concentricity — Relies on this full length sizing die to bump headspace while allowing self-centring bushings to align freely with the 0.204 in bullet diameter case neck for minimal projectile runout.

Less suitable for: Shooters loading alternative .20-calibre cartridges such as the .20 Tactical, which require dedicated calibre-specific full-length sizing dies rather than .204 Ruger-dimensioned tooling.
