The Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Die Set for .260 Remington (MPN 38531) is a 3-die reloading system engineered to minimise runout and achieve low velocity standard deviations for precision bolt-action rifles. Compatible with standard single-stage and turret presses via industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading, the set includes a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, a dedicated Body Die, and a Competition Bullet Seating Die. This configuration separates neck sizing and shoulder bumping, allowing handloaders to preserve fire-formed brass geometry and tune neck tension without overworking the case.

Key Features

• Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die: Utilises interchangeable sizing bushings (available in 0.001" increments, sold separately) to size the case neck to precise dimensions while maintaining concentricity.
• Dedicated Body Die: Resizes the case body and bumps the shoulder position to maintain proper headspace without contacting or altering the case neck.
• Competition Seating Die: Uses a sliding alignment sleeve to hold the bullet and case in linear alignment before seating, controlled via an integrated micrometer head calibrated in 0.001" increments.
• Press Compatibility: Machined with 7/8"-14 threads to interface with standard mechanical reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 260 Rem Type S Match Neck Die Set for?

• PRS and F-Class precision rifle competitors — requires the 0.001" micrometer adjustable seating head on this 260 Remington reloading die set to precisely tune bullet seating depth and jump to the rifling lands for tight velocity standard deviations.
• Long-range bolt-action handloaders — requires the interchangeable neck bushing system and 7/8"-14 threaded body die to bump shoulders and set neck tension across fire-formed .260 Remington cases without overworking the brass.

Less suitable for: Handloaders loading for semi-automatic, lever, or pump-action rifles, or loading non-standard chambers such as .260 Ackley Improved or 6.5 Creedmoor; these applications require a calibre-specific full-length sizing die set or small base die set to ensure reliable feeding and chambering.
