- Uses interchangeable sizing bushings available in .001" increments
- Adjustable decapping rod allows positioning the bushing to resize only a portion of the neck length if desired
- Concentrically is enhanced by the ability of the resizing bushing to self-center on the case neck
- Decapping rod is supplied with a standard size button. This is especially useful for reloaders who are using commercial brass as is

The Type S - Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die provides reloaders with a simple means to precisely control case neck size and tension.
The easiest way to determine the proper diameter bushing, is to measure the neck diameter of several loaded or dummy cartridges with an accurate micrometer. Subtract .001"- .002" from the average neck diameter and this diameter bushing will generally size case necks to create the proper press fit for the bullet.
Another method is to measure the neck thickness with a ball micrometer or Redding's Case Neck Gauge. Double the wall thickness and add this number to the bullet diameter. The result is the neck diameter of a loaded cartridge, and bushing size can be determined as above.
