The Redding 17 Remington Full Length Die Set (Model 80217) is a precision 2-die rifle set engineered to return fired bottleneck brass to factory SAAMI chamber dimensions and accurately seat bullets. Machined from heat-treated alloy steel on Hardinge lathes and hand-polished, this non-powered mechanical reloading set features industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading to fit single-stage, turret, or progressive reloading presses. It provides complete case resizing, de-priming, neck expansion, and bullet seating for handloaders working with high-velocity .17 Remington ammunition.

Key Features:

• Full-Length Sizing & Decapping: Resizes the case body, bumps the shoulder back to restore correct headspace, and decaps spent primers while the internal expander button sizes the neck for 0.172" diameter projectiles.
• Precision Bullet Seating: Includes an internal bullet guide and standard seating plug to seat .17-calibre projectiles to a consistent cartridge overall length (COAL).
• Adjustable Crimping: Features a built-in crimp ring inside the seating die, allowing the user to apply a roll crimp or back the die off to seat without crimping.
• Heat-Treated Steel Construction: Precision-ground alloy steel construction ensures tight internal tolerances and resistance to wear over extended reloading cycles when used with standard case sizing lubricant.
• Included Accessories: Supplied with a storage box that functions as a cartridge loading block, a spare decapping pin, and a hex wrench for lock-ring adjustments.

Who is the Redding 17 Remington Full Length Die Set for?

• Handloaders preparing .17 Remington ammunition for multiple rifles or semi-automatics — Restores fired bottleneck brass to factory SAAMI headspace specifications using standard 7/8"-14 threading, ensuring reliable feeding and smooth chambering across different firearm actions.
• Precision reloaders loading 0.172" diameter projectiles — Delivers uniform overall cartridge length and neck dimensions specifically calibrated for 0.172-inch bullets via an integrated expander button and dedicated seating guide in this 17 Remington full length die set.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing alternative .17-calibre cartridges such as .17 Hornet, .17 Fireball, or .17 WSM, which require cartridge-specific full-length dies matching their distinct shoulder angles and case dimensions; or benchrest target shooters seeking incremental 0.001" neck-tension control on fire-formed cases fired through a single bolt-action rifle, who are better served by a dedicated neck-sizing or bushing-style die set.
