The Redding 240 Wby Weatherby Magnum Deluxe Die Set (Model 84232) is a precision 3-die reloading set engineered specifically for bottleneck rifle cartridge handloading. Manufactured for .240 Weatherby Magnum brass using standard 0.243 in (6mm) diameter projectiles, this unpowered mechanical tooling set allows reloaders to alternate between full-length sizing and fire-formed neck sizing. Built with an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread, the set integrates directly into standard reloading presses and has a packaged weight of approximately 0.5–0.6 kg.

Key Features:

• Full-Length (FL) Sizing Die: Restores fired cartridge cases to factory dimensions and includes an internal decapping rod assembly with an expander ball (size button) to decap spent primers while uniforming the case mouth.
• Neck (NK) Sizing Die: Resizes only the case neck while leaving the fire-formed case body untouched, extending brass service life and preserving fire-formed chamber alignment for bolt-action rifles.
• Seating (ST) Die: Features an internal bullet guide, built-in crimping ring, and standard seating plug to seat bullets accurately to designated cartridge overall length (COAL).
• Interchangeable Press Interface: Machined with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads to mount directly into conventional single-stage and progressive reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 240 Wby Weatherby Magnum Deluxe Die Set for?

• Precision Handloaders: Enables custom load development for bolt-action rifles by providing a dedicated neck sizing die that resizes only the 0.243 in (6mm) neck of fire-formed .240 Weatherby Magnum brass, maximizing brass longevity and fire-formed chamber concentricity.
• Hunters and Pest Controllers: Allows complete restoration of brass to factory tolerances using the full-length sizing die on an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread press, ensuring smooth feeding and reliable chamber cycling for medium game hunting.

Less suitable for: Firearm platforms requiring non-standard calibres or ammunition fired across multiple different rifle chambers; the neck sizing die is strictly engineered for .240 Weatherby Magnum cases fired in and returned to the same single bolt-action chamber, and competition handloaders seeking micrometer-adjustable neck tension or runout control should step up to a dedicated bushing die set with interchangeable sizing bushings.
