Redding 308 Winchester Small Base Type S Full-Length Bushing Die

The Redding 308 Winchester Small Base Type S Full-Length Bushing Die (brand part no. 77355) resizes 308 Winchester brass down to factory case-body dimensions while leaving neck sizing to a separate, interchangeable bushing. That two-part approach is the core of Redding’s Type S system: the die handles full-length body sizing for reliable chambering, and the bushing (sold separately, in .001 inch increments) lets a handloader dial in the exact amount of neck tension their load and brass call for. Its small base dimension resizes the case body slightly more than a standard full-length die, which is useful for brass that will be fired in a tight factory chamber, a different rifle than it was originally formed in, or a semi-automatic gas gun that needs generous chamber clearance.

Key Specifications

• It is chambered for 308 Winchester, so it resizes cases to that cartridge’s factory body dimensions.
• It is a Type S Full-Length die, meaning it uses an interchangeable neck bushing instead of a fixed neck ring.
• The neck bushing is sold separately, letting you pick your own neck-tension diameter instead of accepting a one-size-fits-all fit.
• Its small base body dimension sizes cases down slightly more than a standard full-length die, aiding chambering in tight or gas-gun actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this die include a neck bushing? No. Type S bushing dies are sold without a bushing so you can choose the exact diameter for your brass and the neck tension you want. Bushings are sold separately.

What does this die do that a standard full-length die doesn’t? It sizes the case body the same way a standard full-length die does, but the neck portion accepts an interchangeable bushing, letting you fine-tune neck tension without owning multiple fixed-neck dies.

What does the Small Base designation mean on this die? Small base dies resize the case body down slightly more than a standard full-length die, which helps cases chamber reliably in tight factory chambers, other rifles, or semi-automatic actions.
