Bushing Dies

I'm looking to buy a Neck Die for my .204. I was wondering if the Redding Neck Die will suffice, or do I need the Redding Type-S Bushing Neck Die?

Re: New Cooper

He has quite a collection of rifles, Coopers, Dakotas, Savages, AR's, 338 Lapua

His garage looks like Noslers reloading room :lol:

He said the Cooper .204 was just collecting dust, so I might as well get some use out of it. :D
