221 Fireball Redding Body Die

[ASbobcat]

Anyone have one of these? Would like to know neck ID with this die (Redding doesn't give out dimensions anymore). Ballpark with calipers close enough.

Using to form 221 from 222/223.

Might be interested in one, if anyone has one they no longer need.

Thanks

It’s a body die. It doesn’t size the neck.

My bad. I should have been more specific. I'm converting 223/222 to 221.

Run 223 into a 221 die?

Will need neck turning. The Redding Type S fL sizing bushing die may be used, without the bushing?
The hole in the die is larger then the neck OD.

The 223 shoulder will become the new neck.

I have run 308 & 30-06 innto Reddings 243 S die. NO BUSHING The 308, easy to do. The 30-06 was for laughs.

You need someone with the Redding die to size a 223 for you.

There is a difference between a FL die & A FORMING DIE.

The forming die pushes the shoulder back more.

243 Win- I tried using LC 7.62/308 brass formed in a standard die. The bolt always closed harder then factory brass, even after a few firings.
Was neck turmed.
