Redding Body Die .25-06 Rem
Specialized body die for .25-06 Rem that resizes case body and bumps shoulder without touching neck. Ideal for precision reloaders managing case growth from repeated firings.
Purpose and Design
The Redding Body Die represents a specialized tool for the serious reloader who demands precision and control over case dimensions. Unlike conventional full-length sizing dies, the body die focuses exclusively on resizing the case body and repositioning the shoulder—leaving the neck untouched.
How It Works
This die accomplishes its task without internal moving parts, making it straightforward and reliable. As cases accumulate firing cycles, they gradually grow and become increasingly difficult to chamber. The body die addresses this problem directly by resizing only the body and bumping the shoulder back to proper position for reliable chambering.
The Neck Advantage
By leaving the case neck alone, the body die preserves the precise neck sizing work you've already completed with your neck sizing die. This is particularly valuable for benchrest shooters and other precision competitors who invest considerable effort in neck preparation.
Companion to Bushing Dies
Redding designed the body die as a companion tool for their bushing-style neck sizing die sets. Together, these dies give you complete control over case dimensions—neck sizing for precision, body sizing for longevity and reliable chambering.
The Bottom Line
If you're running cases through multiple firing cycles and noticing chambering resistance, the body die solves the problem while preserving your neck work. It's a tool that pays dividends over time.
