The Redding 280 Ackley Improved bushing full length Type S die gives you precision full-length resizing and neck control in a single operation—exactly what serious reloaders need for consistent, accurate ammo. Whether you're loading for a precision rifle, hunting, or competition, this die lets you resize the case body while maintaining tight control over case neck dimensions, all without multiple die swaps.
Type S dies use interchangeable bushings (the same ones that fit Redding's neck-sizing dies), so you can fine-tune neck tension to your exact specs. The adjustable decapping rod is the real workhorse here: it lets you dial in how much of the neck gets sized, and the bushing's self-centering design keeps concentricity tight—critical for accuracy. You get both a standard size button and a decapping pin retainer in the box, giving you flexibility for different reloading workflows.
Need even more versatility? Remove the bushing and internal parts, and the Type S becomes a body die. That's the kind of multi-purpose design that makes sense in a serious reloading setup. Built to Redding's exacting tolerances, this die is engineered for shooters who demand consistency from brass to bullet.
