The Redding 78817 Type S Neck Sizing Die Set is a 3-die reloading system engineered specifically for .30 Nosler cartridges utilizing .308" diameter projectiles. Designed to maximize brass longevity and maintain minimal case runout, this set includes a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, a dedicated Body Die, and a standard conventional bullet seating die with a built-in roll crimp feature. Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads, the dies fit standard Australian reloading presses and provide precise control over neck tension by using freely floating, interchangeable sizing bushings without working the case body until necessary.

Key Features

• Precise Neck Sizing: Employs self-centring, interchangeable neck bushings (available in 0.001" increments, sold separately) to size the cartridge neck without overworking brass.
• Independent Body Sizing: Includes a dedicated Body Die to bump the shoulder and resize case body dimensions only when chambering resistance occurs, leaving the neck untouched.
• Dual Sizing Options: Operates with or without the included expander ball size button to reduce case neck runout and brass fatigue.
• Partial Neck Sizing Capability: Features an adjustable decapping rod assembly that allows reloaders to size the full neck length or only a partial section.
• Bullet Seating and Crimping: Comes with a conventional seating die featuring an integrated roll crimp to secure .308" diameter bullets accurately.

Who is the Redding Type S Neck Sizing Die Set for .30 Nosler for?

• Competitive benchrest and F-Class shooters — requires precise neck tension adjustment in 0.001" bushing increments across 7/8"-14 threaded single-stage presses to minimize bullet runout on fire-formed .30 Nosler brass.
• Long-range precision handloaders — utilizes this Type S neck sizing die set to load .308" diameter projectiles while independently managing shoulder bump via the separate body die and standard #6 shellholder.
• Hunters reloading bolt-action rifles — extends brass life for fire-formed .30 Nosler cases fired repeatedly through a single rifle chamber by working only the case neck and seating .308" diameter bullets.

Less suitable for: Handloaders reloading for semi-automatic actions, varied rifle chambers, or high-dust field environments requiring 100% chambering reliability, or those loading standard .300 Win Mag or .300 PRC cases; these applications require a dedicated full-length resizing die set rather than a bushing neck sizing die set.
