SJC Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 As titled, I’m looking for a Hornady (ideally) full length resizing die in new or used condition (if used it must be usable). I have a Redding S type but is not sizing all of the neck down from the .221 brass and this is preventing the cartridge from being chambered.Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you have the right sized bushing insert in there to size the neck down properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted January 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi Catch -22 Im a great believer in there being no such thing as a stupid question. Yes, the die is a FL die and I believe the bushing to be correct as the case appears to chamber to a point. I believe the issue occurs where only 70% of the neck is sized so the lower part of the neck remains at .224 cal diameter. It would however appear that you can over cam (?) the die and this appears to potentially have solved the issue. I just need to check the case in the chamber. thanks for the comments, they are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby-93 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Is it a tight neck chamber? You might need to neck turn if so? NT will also remove the brass that hasn’t been sized down on your virgin brass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
