Type S Full Length Bushing Die - All Type-S dies use an interchangeable bushing to control neck diameter and tension to an increment of 0.001”. Bushings are available in hardened steel but also are available with a TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating for even greater lubricity. This allows the handloader complete control and precision when setting the appropriate neck tension without fear of over working the brass in the case neck. These bushings are also free-floating to self- center on the case neck for a higher degree of sizing accuracy. These features provide not only an enhanced degree of control but significant improvements to consistency and accuracy of the final loaded rounds.
The adjustable decapping rod allows you to adjust the bushing position, sizing only part of the neck length when desired . Concentricity is enhanced by the ability of the bushing to self-center on the neck of the cartridge case. All Type S (except 17 and 20 Cal.) dies are supplied with both the standard size button and a decapping pin retainer for the advantages and versatility described under our Type S - Bushing Style Neck Sizing Dies. Note: By removing the bushing and all internal parts, the Type-S full bushing die may also be used as a body die.
All dies are supplied without bushings.
