Redding Small Base Body Die .260 Remington

1. Optimized for Tight Chambers: The Redding Small Base Body Die for .260 Remington is engineered to size the case body to minimum SAAMI specifications, ensuring reliable feeding and extraction in rifles with tight chambers, particularly common in AR-pattern rifles and other semi-automatics. While it resizes the case body to factory dimensions, it does not touch the case neck, preserving the concentricity and custom neck tension gained from previous firings. This design is crucial for competitive shooters and hunters who demand uncompromising accuracy and function from their ammunition.

2. Precision Engineering: Manufactured from heat-treated steel, this die undergoes rigorous machining processes to achieve exacting tolerances. The interior is meticulously polished to reduce drag and prevent scratching, allowing for smooth, low-effort resizing. This attention to detail ensures that each reformed case closely mirrors its original factory dimensions, critical for consistent performance and prolonged brass life.

3. Preserves Neck Tension: Unlike full length sizing dies that resize the entire case including the neck, this body die focuses solely on the case body. This preserves the custom neck tension that has been uniquely fire-formed to your rifle's chamber, which is paramount for maintaining optimal bullet concentricity and enhancing accuracy, especially in highly tuned precision rifles.

4. Enhanced Compatibility and Longevity: The Redding Small Base Body Die integrates seamlessly into any reloading setup using standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses. Its robust construction and quality materials mean it will withstand countless reloading cycles, providing long-term reliability and precision for dedicated handloaders. It is designed to be paired with a separate neck sizing die or a bushing neck sizing die for complete control over your ammunition's specifications.

The Redding Small Base Body Die for .260 Remington offers a specialized solution for handloaders seeking to craft cartridges that perform flawlessly in rifles with tighter chambers. This unique die variant sizes only the body of the cartridge case, returning it to minimum specifications without disturbing the critical neck dimensions. This is particularly advantageous for semi-automatic rifles or highly tuned bolt-action rifles where precise fit is paramount for reliable feeding and extraction. By leaving the case neck untouched, it allows the handloader to maintain the custom neck tension achieved after firing, which is essential for preserving accuracy and extending brass life. Crafted from heat-treated steel with a precision-polished interior, this die operates smoothly and efficiently, reducing the effort required for resizing while preventing brass marring. It's an indispensable tool for precision shooters and hunters who demand reliable cycling and consistently accurate ammunition.
