Are redding type s reloading dies worth the coin? Or would the "normal" redding dies be sufficient? Also, what am I getting with the extra spent money?

Depends on the gun and what your goal is....for a factory chamber or hunting rifle probably not going to see much of a difference -
It has interchangeable bushings for the neck allowing you to size the neck by the .001 of an inch. You can set the exact grip tension on the bullet you wish. Additionally, it doesn't contribute to work hardening of the neck as much as standard dies as it doesn't use an expander ball.
It's a big deal to bench rest guys, will you see a difference on a sporting rifle...that I can't answer but would be curious as well.Comment

There's a great thread over on LRH regarding the type S dies. Here's a link:

If you're interested in reloading for accuracy and precision, the answer is, "Yes." If you just want to knock out something that goes "boom" with accuracy about like factory ammo, then "no."
You don't see a lot of guys getting rid of their type S does and opting for a less expensive die; bit you sure see a lot of guys upgrading to Type S from standard dies. That ought to tell you something. Like anything else, it depends on your needs and your bankroll.Comment

Sounds like all else being equal, I should go with the type s. Found this, but else do I need? It says I'd need a bushing and a shellholder - http://www.midwayusa.com/product/192...atherby-magnum
Is this the bushing? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/657...atherby-magnum
But what about the shellholder thing they are talking about?Comment

Bushing sizes will be based on any of the following: brass neck wall diameter, loaded round OD, neck size of the chamber .Comment
