How to save LOTSA moolah on Redding's bushing NS dies!

[Fatelvis]

After WASTING much money on buying specific caliber NS type S bushing dies, I will probably NEVER buy another one! I have been using my 7BR Redding NS die for almost every bottleneck caliber I reload for! It works flawlessly. The trick is to acquire a die for a short, fat, cartridge, (shorter and fatter than any cartridge you reload) and use the appropriate bushings that you would normally use. Nothing in the die except the bushing comes in contact with the case, so why buy more than one die? It's basically just a "bushing holder". Just a thought.......

Now, start machining shims to put under the lock nut so you do not have to re-adjust the die with every caliber change.

Good idea if you only neck size.
