The Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Die Set, .223 Valkyrie (Redding part no. 39387) sizes only the case neck instead of the entire case body, built for .224 Valkyrie shooters who fire the same brass in one rifle’s chamber and want to preserve the fire-formed fit rather than resize it back to factory dimensions every time. Interchangeable steel bushings let the reloader set exactly how much neck tension the sized case will hold on the bullet. This is the tool precision shooters reach for once they’ve moved past full-length sizing and want to extend brass life while tightening consistency.

Key Specifications

• Precision-machined for .224 Valkyrie, matched to that cartridge’s exact neck diameter.
• Sizes only the case neck, leaving the case body at its fire-formed dimensions.
• Uses interchangeable steel bushings in 0.001-inch increments to control neck tension precisely.
• A decapping rod handles primer removal during the neck-sizing stroke.
• Fits any press with the standard 7/8-14 die thread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this size the whole case? No — it sizes only the neck, which is why it’s meant for brass fired and reloaded in the same rifle rather than shared across multiple rifles.

Is a seating die included? No, this is a neck-sizing die only; a separate seating die is needed to complete the loading process.

Why choose neck sizing over full-length sizing? It preserves the brass’s fire-formed fit to a specific chamber, which can extend case life and improve consistency for a dedicated precision rifle.
