For Long range shooting I need consistent neck tension on my bottleneck bullets. I ordered this Redding Bushing Neck sizer die from Midway for $148 dollars and a Titanium Nitride Bushing $34 below for my 7mm Rem Mag.
Do you need this special neck sizer for hunting here in New England? Not really, unless you shoot beyond 200 yards or are strong on the details side of things.
Below: Titanium Nitride Bushing
Reading the instructions, I had to unscrew the micrometer and spring/shaft portion from the body and place the bushing into the main body tube where the micrometer came out.
This die comes with a primer-remover-shaft that allows you to use the primer remover, or not, by adjusting the shaft in or out. I did not want to de-prime, as my brass was full length sized, confirmed concentric to 0.003″ or less on my Sinclair gage, and then primed.
My already loaded rounds measure 0.311″ Outside Diameter. My neck bushing has a 0.309″ opening will now size the empty primed and full length brass to 0.309″ to grip the bullet by 0.002″ tension.
Here is a photo and Stat’s of the latest Nosler 175g ABLR 3 shot Nosler 175g ABLR 3 shot 7/8″ group RL 22 at 150 yds.
| Stats – Average | 2964.82 | fps |
| Stats – Highest | 2975.04 | fps |
| Stats – Lowest | 2953.98 | fps |
| Stats – Ext. Spread | 21.06 | fps |
| Stats – Std. Dev | 10.55 | fps |
Primers and case look normal. I could punch the 3000fps mark but with this really tight 150 yard 7/8″group, I am very happy here with an SD of 10.
Good Shooting!
