The Redding 6.5 PRC Type S Neck Die (brand part no. 71487) is a bushing-style neck sizing die that gives handloaders precise control over case neck size and tension. Interchangeable bushings sized in 0.001 in. increments let you dial in exact neck tension, while an adjustable decapping rod lets you resize only part of the neck length if you choose. The bushing’s self-centering design improves case concentricity over a fixed expander button, and a decapping pin retainer is included for reloaders who sort or turn their necks for uniformity. Bushings themselves are sold separately to match your specific brass.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I pick the right bushing size? Measure the neck diameter of several loaded or dummy cartridges with a micrometer, then subtract 0.001 in. from the smallest measurement to leave proper spring-back and bullet fit.

Are the sizing bushings included with the die? No, bushings are sold separately so you can match neck tension exactly to your 6.5 PRC brass.

What is the decapping pin retainer for? It lets reloaders who sort or turn their case necks for uniformity size the neck without using the standard size button.
