17-5.56 Redding Reloading Die Set

"What's make this different from 17 Remington?"

The only commonality between 17 rem and 17-5.56 is that they shoot the same caliber bullet.

17-5.56 is 17 Remington on steroids, you can expect velocity gain at 100 ft/s per inch of barrel.

• 17-5.56 has 30% more case capacity compared to 17 Rem.
• Cheap 5.56/ 223 brass can be converted opposed to 17 rem brass being $1/ each (if you can find it).
• Our reamer/ chamber design has eliminated to notorious 17 cal bore fouling issue which requires frequent bore maintenance. 17-5.56 was designed to run clean or very dirty without compromising precision which eliminates the often talked about “17 cal flier” folks have experienced with 17 rem, 17 hmr, etc.
• 17-5.56 load data start loads are often 17 rem middle/max loads.
• 17-5.56 achieves higher velocity compared to 17 rem while utilizing a shorter barrel.

"How Long will my barrel last" is a question we get a lot, the fact of the matter is that we don't know as we have not been able to burn out a barrel, even with it's heavy firing schedules. Take our original prototype barrel which has been used internally for over a year now. It is well abused and used, more than 2000 rounds through it, all screamers, along with full auto use,  not to mention we did all of or pressure testing data with this barrel which far exceeds recommended load data. This barrel still shoots TINY groups. There are hundreds of these barrels on the market, no one has "burned out a barrel"

Disclaimer, as anyone who reloads will know, when reloading your own ammo you need to take precautions. The factors that come into play with producing loads yields an endless list- elevation, barometric pressure, humidity, lot of powder, lot of primers, tight chamber, loose chamber, rifling, so forth and so on. Just because a particular load works for us it may not work for you, work your loads up safely. KAK Industry takes no responsibility for mishaps just as any component manufacturer does.
