Description
If you've been neck sizing your 22-250 brass for a few firings, you've probably run into cases that start fighting you at the bolt. That's exactly what the Redding 22-250 Remington Body Die is built to solve. It full-length resizes the case body and sets the shoulder back to spec for smooth chambering, without ever touching the neck you worked so hard to keep concentric. There are no moving parts inside, so it won't deprive or disturb neck tension. It simply squeezes the body back into shape.
How the Redding Body Die Earns Its Keep
Redding has been making body dies for benchrest competitors long before they were a catalog item, and this one carries that same pedigree. You control the amount of shoulder bump by adjusting the die's position relative to the shellholder, the same way you'd set a conventional full-length sizer. Dial it in with a case gauge or a headspace comparator and you can keep your bump consistent down to a couple thousandths. It uses the standard 7/8-14 thread, so it threads right into any common single-stage press.
Pairing the 22-250 Body Die With Your Neck Sizing Setup
This die was designed as a companion to Redding's bushing-style neck sizing dies, like the Type S Neck Die or the Competition Neck Sizing Die. The idea is simple: neck size for most of your reloads to extend brass life and preserve accuracy, then run the body die when cases start getting tight. Plenty of handloaders report getting well over a dozen firings out of the same brass using this approach, only reaching for the body die once or twice a season.
It's machined from heat-treated steel and made in the USA. For precision reloaders chasing long case life and effortless chambering out of a bolt gun, this is one of those quiet workhorses that earns a permanent spot on the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Redding 22-250 Remington Body Die size the neck?
No, and that's the whole point of it. This die resizes only the case body and bumps the shoulder back for proper chambering, leaving the neck completely untouched. It's designed to work alongside a neck sizing die so you can preserve your neck tension and concentricity.
Can this die deprime my brass?
It cannot. The body die is made without any internal parts, so there's no decapping rod or expander. You'll handle depriming with your neck sizing die or a separate decapping tool.
What shellholder do I need for the 22-250 Body Die?
The 22-250 Remington uses the Redding #1 shellholder. The shellholder is sold separately from the body die, so grab one if you don't already have it in your setup.
When should I use a body die instead of my regular sizing die?
Reach for it when cases that you've been neck sizing start becoming difficult to chamber after several firings. Running them through the body die squeezes the body back to spec and sets the shoulder, bringing the brass back to easy chambering without over-working the neck. Many reloaders only need it once or twice per season.
