? about Redding Type S Full Length Sizer

[TimK]

I'm currently using a Redding type S neck size die and a body die in two separate operations. I think I can replace those operations(and add simultaneous decapping)by switching to the Type S Full Length Sizer and using a decap pin with no expander.

My question is this: I just touch the shoulder with the body die now, am I right to assume I can do the same minimal sizing on the body with the Type S Full Length Sizer?

Here's a link to the die I think I need.

You are correct. Just use the same bushing in your neck only die right now. Set the "bump" of the shoulder the same way you did the body die. You should be good to go.

Type s full length sizer is the way to go. You can certainly use just that die instead of the neck die and body die in 2 separate operations

Thanks guys, that's what I needed. Now I can turn three pulls of the handle into one.

Yep, just as you describe. First thing I do when I get a new set of dies is remove the expander mandrel, clean them up with some oil, and into the press they go...

Just a thought, you can get a universal decapper die. Helps to keep your FL cleaner.

True, but my goal is to pull the handle as few times as possible. I'm decapping in a separate operation now and hate it.

Just remember to clean the inside of your die every now and then. When starting back up after cleaning the die, remember to lube a little heavy on the first 2 or 3 cases. Then everything should be back to normal. If you don't use a little more lube after cleaning, you run a risk of sticking a case in the die.
