The Redding Type S – Bushing Full Length Die (.223 WSSM) is a precision reloading tool engineered to perform full-length case body sizing, shoulder bumping, and decapping in a single operation. Designed specifically for .223 Winchester Super Short Magnum cases seating .224" diameter projectiles, it incorporates a freely floating sizing bushing that self-centers on the case neck axis to minimise runout. This allows handloaders to precisely dictate neck tension and size without over-working the brass, ensuring reliable feeding and chambering in bolt-action rifles.

Key Features:

• Bushing-Controlled Sizing: Uses interchangeable sizing bushings (available in .001" increments) to allow exact customisation of neck dimension and tension.
• Self-Centering Floating Design: The bushing floats freely inside the die cap, self-aligning with the case neck to maintain concentricity and reduce bullet runout.
• Adjustable Decapping Assembly: Vertical adjustability allows users to size the entire neck length or only a partial section as required.
• Dual Decapping Setup: Includes both a standard expander ball for non-turned case necks and a decapping pin retainer to eliminate expander drag on turned brass.
• Universal Press Compatibility: Features standard 7/8"-14 TPI threading and includes a steel lock ring to fit standard reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 223 Wssm Type S - Full Length Die for?

• .223 WSSM long-range precision shooters — provides complete full-length body sizing and runout-minimising self-centering bushing control for .223 WSSM cases firing .224 inch projectiles, mounted securely via standard 7/8"-14 TPI press threads.
• .223 WSSM varmint hunters using bolt-action rifles — ensures effortless chambering and field reliability across varied hunting environments by full-length sizing the case body down to specification for .224 inch bullet seating.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing standard .223 Remington, .243 WSSM, or .25 WSSM brass, which will not match internal chamber dimensions, or those strictly requiring fire-formed neck sizing for a single custom rifle where a dedicated bushing neck-sizing die is better suited.
