Redding 224 Valkyrie Type S Full Die

The Redding 224 Valkyrie Type S Full Die delivers full-length resizing with independent neck control—a capability that separates precision reloaders from those accepting compromises. This Type S bushing-style full die allows you to resize the entire case body while maintaining exact control over case neck dimensions, a combination most full-length dies cannot achieve in one operation. For shooters handloading 224 Valkyrie ammunition, this precision matters: consistent neck tension directly affects bullet seating concentricity and, ultimately, downrange accuracy at distance.

The Type S design uses Redding's interchangeable bushing system—the same bushings found in dedicated neck-sizing dies—allowing you to fine-tune the amount of neck sizing in a single pass. The adjustable decapping rod gives you independent control over bushing position, enabling partial neck sizing when full-length resizing would be excessive. This modularity means you can optimize sizing to your specific case lot and bullet profile without buying additional dies. The concentricity benefit comes from the bushing's ability to isolate neck sizing from body resizing, reducing the runout that causes velocity variations and group dispersion.

This die serves rifle reloaders who demand match-grade accuracy from the 224 Valkyrie platform—whether for precision rifle competition, long-range hunting, or verification testing. Redding's Type S full dies are favored in competitive reloading circles where brass longevity and round-to-round consistency are measurable assets. The learning curve is straightforward for those familiar with bushing-style dies, though the adjustable decapping rod requires attention during setup to ensure proper bushing seating and sizing geometry.
