Redding Body Die .30-06 Springfield
Specialized full-length body die resizes case bodies and bumps shoulders for proper chambering without affecting case necks. Ideal for repeated-fire brass that's become difficult to chamber.
Purpose and Design
The Redding Body Die is a specialized reloading tool designed for shooters who neck-size their brass repeatedly. After many firings, cases can become increasingly difficult to chamber even when the neck has been properly sized. This die solves that problem by resizing the case body and bumping the shoulder back to proper position while leaving the case neck completely undisturbed.
How It Works
Unlike standard full-length sizing dies, the Body Die contains no internal parts. It works by external contact only, resizing the case body walls and repositioning the shoulder for reliable chambering. This approach preserves the work-hardened case neck that results from repeated neck-sizing, extending case life and maintaining the precision benefits of neck-only sizing.
Best Applications
- Benchrest and precision rifle shooters who rely on neck-sizing for accuracy
- Handloaders working with brass that has become difficult to chamber
- Long-range competitors seeking to maximize case longevity
- Reloaders using Redding Bushing Style Neck Sizing die sets
Quality and Compatibility
Redding manufactures these dies to the same exacting standards as their full product line. The Body Die is designed as a companion tool to work seamlessly with Redding's Bushing Style Neck Sizing die sets across all calibers.
