The Redding 223 Wssm Deluxe Die Set (Model 84295) is a complete three-die reloading kit precision-machined for the .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum cartridge. Built from heat-treated, hand-polished alloy steel, this mechanical die set provides handloaders with both full-length resizing and fire-formed neck-sizing capabilities in a single package. Designed for high-velocity varmint and target shooting applications, the set restores fired cases to correct functional dimensions and seats standard .224-inch diameter projectiles with consistent concentricity.

Key Features

• Universal Press Interface: Features standard 7/8"-14 threading with Redding lock rings, ensuring direct compatibility with standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.
• Precision Alignment: Engineered with internal bullet alignment geometry to seat standard .224-inch diameter projectiles cleanly without damaging case mouths.

Who is the Redding 223 Wssm Deluxe Die Set for?

• Precision Handloaders: Needs dedicated tooling engineered specifically for the .223 WSSM cartridge utilizing standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses to maintain strict case concentricity and uniform bullet seating depth.
• Varmint and Target Shooters: Utilises the dedicated neck sizing die to minimise brass work-hardening and extend the case life of .223 WSSM casings by sizing only the neck for the same bolt-action chamber without disturbing fire-formed body dimensions.

Less suitable for: Reloading standard .223 Remington, 5.56 NATO, .243 WSSM, or .25 WSSM cartridges, or for neck-sizing brass intended to be shared across multiple different firearms; use standard caliber-specific full-length die sets or dedicated Type S bushing die sets for those applications.
