Which redding bushing die set for 338LM

[alan98]

Which redding die set is best for the 338 LM? I think I've read before that the Redding Type S neck size die set with the body die was most recommended.

I also looked at the Redding competition bushing die set for the 338. It has all the same as the type S neck size die set but a micrometer sizing die or something.

Any advantages of the competition set over the standard Type S neck set?


Thanks,

ALan

Both should work equally well for you. I have used both and made quality ammo with both.

The micrometer is convenient though for knowing exactly where you are sizing to etc.

The competition neck sizer is regarded as overkill for most people. I don't know anyone that needs to partially neck size their brass to an exact dimension. Just go with the standard S type. If you want to partially size the neck, you can do so by screwing out the stem and locking it into place.

Standard S type Neck, a body die and the comp seater.

Standard type-S full length sizing die, micrometer competition seating die.
