.308 Winchester Small Base Redding Full Length Die Set

.308 Winchester Small Base Redding Full Length Die Set

This is the SMALL BASE version of the Redding .308 Winchester full length die set. It includes a Redding Small Base Full Length Sizing Die and a Redding Standard Bullet Seating Die with built-in crimp ring.

What small base means: Redding's Small Base dies provide extra sizing of the case body compared with a standard full length die. Redding recommends them for the tighter chambers of today's competition and match rifles, and they are popular with shooters loading for semi-automatic and pump-action rifles, where a case sized in a standard die may not chamber reliably. If you shoot .308 Winchester in a bolt action with a normal chamber, the standard Redding .308 Winchester Full Length Die Set (REDD80155) is usually the better choice, since it works the brass less.

The Small Base Full Length Sizing Die sizes the complete body of the case and lets you set or bump the shoulder back to adjust headspace relative to your rifle's chamber. It includes a decapping rod assembly with a sizing button and decapping pin to remove spent primers.

The Redding Bullet Seater includes the seating plug (stem) and a built-in crimp ring. Adjusting the seater relative to the shellholder takes the crimp ring out of play for handloaders who do not want a crimped round. Seating depth is set by threading the seating plug in or out of the die.
