Does the Redding 77387 Type S Full Length Die include sizing bushings, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The sizing bushings are sold separately and are not included with the die. For the .224 Valkyrie, typical bushing requirements range from 0.246" to 0.254" and are available in 0.001" increments to let you precisely tune your neck tension.

Will this die fit my standard reloading press here in Australia?

Yes, the Redding 77387 features a standard 7/8"-14 threaded interface that is fully compatible with all standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses from major brands like Redding, RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon. Because this is a strictly mechanical tool, electrical compliance certifications like SAA or 240V are not applicable.

Can I use this die without the expander button if I am turning my brass necks?

Yes, the die includes a decapping pin retainer that allows you to operate the decapping rod assembly without the standard steel expander button. This configuration is ideal for reloaders using uniform, turned brass to prevent over-working the neck.

Is this die suitable for both bolt-action and semi-automatic .224 Valkyrie rifles?

Yes, it is specifically engineered for precision handloaders requiring reliable chamber cycling across both bolt-action rifles and semi-automatic or lever-release sporting platforms. By resizing the cartridge body to SAAMI specifications while independently controlling neck tension, it ensures smooth feeding, extraction, and minimal runout.

.224 Valkyrie Die - Redding 77387

The Redding 224 Valkyrie Type S - Full Length Die (MPN: 77387) resizes cartridge cases to standard SAAMI body dimensions while providing micro-adjustable control over case neck tension. Designed specifically for .224 Valkyrie cases loaded with .224" / 5.7mm diameter projectiles, this die utilizes a freely floating, self-centering bushing system to align cartridge necks and minimize bullet runout. The die operates on any standard reloading press via a 7/8"-14 threaded interface and can be set up with an expander button or run with only the included decapping pin retainer for minimally worked brass.

Key Features

Full-Length Resizing with Independent Neck Sizing: Restores body and shoulder dimensions to factory specifications for smooth chambering while allowing precise neck diameter adjustment via interchangeable bushings.
Self-Centering Bushing Design: Features a floating sizing bushing that self-aligns on the cartridge neck during the press stroke to ensure concentricity.
Adjustable Neck Sizing Depth: The decapping rod assembly adjusts vertically to size either the entire neck length or leave a partial unsized section to aid in chamber centering.
Body Die Dual Functionality: Removing the internal decapping rod assembly and sizing bushing allows the hardened steel die body to function strictly as a body and shoulder bump die.
Configurable Decapping Assembly: Ships with a decapping rod assembly (#10395), standard steel size button (#39223), decapping pin (#01060), decapping pin retainer, and lock ring.

Who is the Redding 224 Valkyrie Type S - Full Length Die for?

Precision handloaders tuning .224 Valkyrie ammunition for semi-automatic or lever-release sporting platforms — sizes the full cartridge case body to SAAMI specifications while mounting securely to presses via the standard 7/8"-14 threaded interface to guarantee reliable cycling under field conditions.
Handloaders seeking to minimize ammunition runout and bullet concentricity issues in bolt-action .224 Valkyrie rifles — features a floating, self-centering bushing system compatible with interchangeable bushings stepped in 0.001" increments (typically ranging from 0.246" to 0.254") to achieve exact neck tension for .224" / 5.7mm diameter projectiles without overworking case necks.

Less suitable for: Handloaders utilizing brass fire-formed to a single tight-tolerance bolt-action chamber where maximum brass longevity is preferred over full-length body sizing (a dedicated neck-only sizing die is better suited), or high-volume reloaders who do not require neck tension adjustment in 0.001" increments and prefer not to source separate sizing bushings (a non-bushing standard full-length die is better suited).
