The Redding Competition Bushing Neck Die – 243 Winchester (part no. 56114) is a precision neck-sizing die built by Redding for handloaders running 243 Winchester brass. Rather than resizing the entire case, this die works the neck only, which is exactly what bench-rest and precision rifle shooters want when reloading fire-formed brass that already fits their chamber. It pairs with a separately sold steel neck bushing so you can set neck tension to the thousandth of an inch instead of accepting a single fixed diameter. That level of control is what makes bushing dies the standard choice for long-range and competition handloading.

Key Specifications

• Cut for 243 Winchester brass, so it drops straight into your existing die lineup for this cartridge.
• This is a neck-only sizing die, resizing just the case neck instead of bumping the shoulder or working the full case body.
• Accepts a separately sold steel neck bushing, letting you dial in exact neck tension for 243 Winchester brass instead of one fixed diameter.
• Built around a floating shellholder system that self-aligns the case to the die body for straighter, more concentric case necks.
• Sold as a standalone die, not a set, for handloaders who already have a compatible shellholder or are building a modular die collection piece by piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this die include the neck bushing? No. Like all Redding bushing-style dies, the steel neck bushing is sold separately so you can match neck tension to your brass and load.

What’s the difference between this and a full-length sizing die? This die resizes only the neck, leaving the body and shoulder untouched, which is why precision shooters use it on 243 Winchester brass that’s already been fire-formed to their chamber and just needs neck tension restored between firings.
