Redding 243 Winchester Competition Bushing Neck Die Set$296.56
Availability: In Stock
The Redding 270 Winchester Competition Bushing Neck Die Set is purpose-built for shooters who demand precision in their handloads. This three-die set—Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Die, Body Die, and Competition Bullet Seater—gives you the control needed to produce match-grade ammunition for competition, hunting, or precision rifle work. If you're already invested in quality reloading equipment and want to step up your 270 Winchester loads with tight tolerances and repeatable results, this is the tooling to get there.
The heart of this set is the Competition Bushing Neck Die, which takes a different approach than full-length sizing. The case neck is completely supported and aligned before sizing begins, then remains cradled in a tight, sliding sleeve as it moves up into the bushing. The decapping rod stays in precise alignment thanks to internal linear support—similar to how a firing pin is guided—preventing the kind of cock-eyed decapping that can cause inconsistency. The micrometer adjustment lets you dial in exactly how much neck tension you want, giving you repeatable control over neck sizing depth with each stroke.
The Body Die handles full-length resizing of the case body and bumps the shoulder back for reliable chambering without touching your carefully sized neck. That separation of duties—neck sizing in one die, body work in another—is what makes bushing die sets popular among precision reloaders. The Competition Bullet Seater finishes the job with a floating stem design and tight manufacturing tolerances that minimize bullet runout and seating inconsistency. The precise fit between bullet guide and stem allows the stem to float slightly, centering the bullet naturally as it seats.
Note that bushings and shellholder are sold separately, so factor those into your purchase if you're starting fresh. If you're already set up with Redding dies and just upgrading your 270 Winchester tooling, this set slots right in.
| Caliber | 270 Winchester |
| Die Type | Bushing Neck Die Set (3-die) |
| Included | Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Die, Body Die, Competition Bullet Seater |
| Adjustments | Micrometer (Neck Die and Seater) |
| Sold Separately | Bushings, Shellholder |
| Brand | Redding |
A bushing neck die sizes only the neck of the case, using a removable bushing fitted to your desired tension. The body and shoulder are handled separately by the Body Die. This approach gives you independent control over neck sizing and body/shoulder work, which is valuable for precision shooting. Standard full-length dies resize the entire case in one stroke, which is faster but less precise for competition work.
Yes. Bushings and shellholder are not included and must be purchased separately. You'll need the correct shellholder for 270 Winchester and at least one bushing sized to your preferred neck tension.
While designed with competition precision in mind, the set works perfectly well for hunting ammunition if you want the control that bushing sizing offers. The micrometer adjustments and tight tolerances will produce accurate, consistent loads for hunting rifles as well.
This set is specifically designed for 270 Winchester. It is not compatible with other calibers.
