What shellholder and thread size does the Redding 77317 require for my reloading press?

The Redding 77317 features an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread, making it compatible with almost all standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses. For proper case retention during the 6mm BR sizing process, you will need a Redding #1 shellholder (such as Part #11001 or #11601), which is sold separately.

Are sizing bushings included with the Redding 77317 Type S Full Size Bushing Die?

No, the interchangeable sizing bushings are sold separately to allow handloaders to customize neck tension according to their specific brass wall thickness. To complete your setup for 6mm BR, you will need to acquire a Redding or Wilson neck sizing bushing in 0.001" increments, alongside compatible neck sizing bushings like the Redding 76247 Titanium Nitride Neck Sizing Bushing if you prefer TiN-coated surfaces.

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

No, the Redding 77317 is a fully mechanical reloading die containing zero electrical or electronic components. Therefore, 240V power requirements, SAA approvals, and RCM regulatory compliance marks do not apply to this tool.

Can I use this die to bump shoulders without altering the case neck?

Yes, versatility is a key feature of the Type S design; by completely removing the bushing and internal decapping components, the die can double as a dedicated body die for shoulder bumping. However, for exclusive shoulder bumping without neck contact, Redding also offers a standalone Body Die (Part #75317).

6mm BR Reloading Die - Redding 77317

The Redding 77317 Type S Full Length Bushing Die is engineered for precision handloading of 6mm BR Remington and 6mm Norma BR cartridges (.243 in / 6mm bullet diameter). It resizes the entire cartridge case body and sets headspace back to specification while offering precise control over case neck diameter in a single press stroke. Constructed from heat-treated carbon steel, the die incorporates a floating bushing pocket that allows interchangeable sizing bushings to self-centre on the cartridge neck, minimising runout and maintaining concentricity across high-volume reloading cycles.

Key Features

Full-Length Sizing with Neck Adjustment: Restores factory case body dimensions and bumps the shoulder back while sizing the neck to user-selected diameters.
Self-Centring Bushing System: The floating neck bushing pocket aligns itself automatically with the case neck to optimise concentricity.
Dual De-priming Configurations: Includes a standard steel expander button (#39242) for sizing standard brass, as well as a decapping pin retainer for sizing uniform or neck-turned brass without an expander ball to prevent excessive work-hardening.
Adjustable Sizing Depth: The decapping rod assembly (#10242) adjusts vertically to allow full-length neck sizing or partial neck sizing.
Industry-Standard Mounting: Machined with standard 7/8"-14 threads to interface directly with standard reloading presses.

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

6mm BR benchrest competition shooters — requires precise neck tension adjustment down to 0.001" increments using interchangeable bushings to achieve minimal runout and tight group tolerances with 6mm BR full-length sizing dies.
Precision rifle series handloaders — requires consistent case chambering and reliability via a 7/8"-14 thread press interface paired with a #1 shellholder to run full-length body sizing alongside dedicated neck tension control.

Less suitable for: Handloaders running unlubricated cases; adequate case lubrication is strictly required prior to full-length sizing to avoid stuck cases, and reloaders seeking small-base sizing for tight semi-automatic chambers require a dedicated small base full-length sizing die.
