Does the Redding 77155 come with neck sizing bushings and a shellholder included?

No, the Redding 77155 includes the steel die body, decapping rod assembly, traditional expander sizing button, and decapping pin retainer, but neck sizing bushings and shellholders are sold separately. For example, if your brass requires a 0.333 inch diameter neck sizing bush, items like the Redding 73333 can be purchased to complete your setup.

Will this die work on standard reloading presses used in Australia?

Yes, the Redding 77155 features an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread that fits all standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses. As a purely mechanical tool, 240V mains power compatibility, Australian plug standards, and SAA/RCM regulatory approvals are not applicable.

Should I choose this full-length die if I am reloading 308 Winchester for a semi-automatic rifle?

For semi-automatics, pump actions, or tight custom chambers requiring tighter body clearance, Redding actually recommends the Small Base Type S Die (Model 77355) rather than this standard 77155 full-length model. The standard 77155 is best suited for precision bolt-actions and target rifles where standard full-length sizing and precise neck dimension control are the priority.

Can I use this die without the internal expander ball for neck-turned brass?

Yes, the Redding 77155 features dual operation modes allowing it to be run with the included expander ball for non-turned necks, or with the included decapping pin retainer to eliminate expander drag for uniform, neck-turned brass. It can even function purely as a body die by removing the internal bushing assembly entirely.

.308 Sizer Die - Redding 77155

The Redding 308 Win Type S - Full Length Die (Model 77155) provides precision case sizing and neck tension regulation for handloaders reloading .308 Winchester ammunition. Built with standard 7/8"-14 mounting threads to fit standard reloading presses, this mechanical steel die resizes the entire case body and bumps the shoulder back to specification while allowing handloaders to control neck dimensions via interchangeable bushings in a single operating step.

Key Features

Full-Length Sizing with Bushing Control: Resizes the complete cartridge case body and resets shoulder headspace while accepting interchangeable Type S neck bushings to set exact neck tension.
Interchangeable Bushing Compatibility: Designed for use with Redding Type S bushings (available separately in 0.001" increments), with a typical sizing range of 0.333" to 0.341" for .308 Winchester brass.
Dual Decapping Configuration: Includes a decapping rod assembly fitted with a standard expander button, as well as a decapping pin retainer that allows expander-free sizing to eliminate neck drag on uniform or neck-turned brass.
Adjustable Sizing Depth: The adjustable decapping rod allows handloaders to adjust the internal bushing position to size either the full length or a partial length of the case neck.
Body Die Functionality: Can operate as a dedicated body-only sizing die by removing the internal bushing assembly.

Who is the Redding 308 Win Type S - Full Length Die for?

Long-range precision rifle shooters loading 308 Winchester — Requires precise, repeatable neck tension control using interchangeable bushings across the 0.333" to 0.341" range to minimize velocity spread and bullet runout on standard 7/8"-14 thread presses.
F-Class and benchrest competitors shooting 308 Winchester — Utilises the included decapping pin retainer to size case necks without expander ball drag, preserving concentricity across match-prepped .308 Winchester brass while resizing the case body to standard dimensions.
Precision hunters requiring reliable chamber feeding — Benefits from a full-length sizing die that weighs 0.65 lbs and bumps the case shoulder back to factory headspace dimensions, ensuring reliable chambering and extraction across factory bolt-action rifles.

Less suitable for: Handloaders operating semi-automatic, pump-action, or tight custom-chambered rifles that require extra body clearance (who should select a small base bushing die), or handloaders using fireformed brass dedicated strictly to a single bolt-action rifle where full-length body resizing is unnecessary (who should select a dedicated neck-only sizing die).
