If you're building precision loads for the 280 Ackley Improved, this Redding Type S-Match set is about as serious as a two-die package gets. It pairs the Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die with Redding's Competition Seating Die, giving you full case body sizing, shoulder bump, and tight control over neck tension all in the same workflow. This is the set that competitive handloaders reach for when they want brass that feeds and chambers reliably round after round.
The real magic here is the interchangeable bushing system. Instead of being locked into a fixed amount of neck sizing, you pick the bushing that gives you the exact neck tension your load likes. The bushing self-centers on the case neck, which helps keep runout low and concentricity high. The decapping rod is adjustable too, so you can set the bushing position and even do partial neck sizing if that's your preference. Pull the bushing and internal parts and the sizer can double as a body die. Bushings and the shellholder are sold separately, which lets you tune the setup to your brass.
The Competition Seating Die is where this set earns its keep for accuracy nuts. A spring-loaded sleeve aligns the case and bullet before seating ever begins, and the micrometer top lets you make fast, repeatable changes to seating depth without guesswork. It ships with a standard seating stem that handles most common bullet shapes, and VLD stems are available separately if you're running those long sleek projectiles. One thing worth noting, it's built for standard seating rather than heavily compressed loads.
These dies use the industry standard 7/8-14 threads, so they'll thread right into any standard press you've already got. Fit and finish are what you'd expect from Redding, and the whole kit tucks into a hard case die box with a hex wrench so everything stays together on the shelf. For anyone chasing tight groups out of a 280 AI, this is a setup that rewards attention to detail.
No, the bushings are sold separately so you can choose the exact size that matches your brass and desired neck tension. They're offered in heat-treated steel or with a Titanium Nitride surface treatment that reduces stress on the brass during sizing. You'll want to measure a loaded round's neck diameter to pick the right bushing.
No, the shellholder is not included and needs to be purchased separately. The 280 Ackley Improved uses the same case head as the parent cartridge, so a standard shellholder for the 280 Remington family will work. Match the shellholder to your press brand for the best fit.
Yes, it can. By removing the bushing and the internal parts, the full length bushing die works as a body die that sizes the case body and bumps the shoulder without touching the neck. That flexibility makes it handy if you also neck size with a separate die.
Yes. The set uses the industry standard 7/8-14 threaded bodies, so it threads into any common single stage or turret press. No special adapters are needed.
