redding S type bushing die

[dieselten]

I have a Redding S type die in the FULL style and it can be adjusted to bump the shoulder back and it also resizes the case body close to a new unfired case.

Will the S type NECK die resize the case body?

If the fired case is from a slightly oversize chamber will the NECK die resize the case body slightly? Any ideas how much?

Thanks
Nick

It does not, even with an "oversized" chamber. I have Redding neck and FL dies in several calibers and the ream difference is obvious.

Attached is a picture of one of my "pieced-together" die sets. I removed the body die and substituted a Redding Type S FL. IMHO, this is what Redding should sell as a Competition set. I also had to buy the Lyman box at Midway to hold the dies as configured for my Co-Ax press. They were too long to all fit in the original Redding box.
