Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die 8x57 IS

1. Precision Engineering with Bushing System: This die employs the innovative Type S design, allowing for the use of interchangeable sizing bushings (sold separately). This enables reloaders to fine-tune neck tension for a perfect fit, providing superior accuracy and extending brass life by preventing unnecessary over-sizing, a critical advantage for precision shooters and hunters alike.

2. Full Length Sizing and Decapping: The die is engineered to perform a complete full-length resizing of the 8x57 IS case, restoring it to factory dimensions. This ensures consistent and reliable feeding, chambering, and extraction, especially vital for ammunition used in semi-automatic or lever-action platforms. Simultaneously, it effectively decaps the spent primer, preparing the case for a new primer.

3. Durable Construction and Smooth Operation: Crafted from high-quality heat-treated steel, the Redding Type S Full Length Sizing Die is built for exceptional durability and longevity. The interior surfaces are meticulously polished to reduce friction, resulting in smoother case sizing, minimized brass scratching, and consistent resizing with every stroke.

4. Optimized for Performance: By precisely controlling neck tension and restoring proper case dimensions, this die is instrumental in producing ammunition that delivers consistent ballistic performance. This leads to improved accuracy and tighter groups downrange, a tangible benefit for competitive shooters and discerning hunters seeking optimal results.
