The Redding Decapping Rod (Part No. 01024) is an OEM replacement spindle engineered for Redding conventional full-length and neck sizing dies. Precision-machined from heat-treated steel, this bare rod replaces bent, worn, or damaged spindles to restore factory alignment for expander buttons and decapping pins inside standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies. It is built to accommodate standard long-action and magnum rifle cartridges widely used by Australian hunters and target shooters, ensuring consistent case neck expansion and reliable spent-primer extraction during reloading.

Who is the Redding 01024 Decapping Rod for?

  • Handloaders reloading long-action bottleneck rifle cartridges — requires the correct internal rod reach to size and deprime cases including .30-06 Springfield, .303 British, 7mm Remington Magnum, and .338 Winchester Magnum calibres in standard sizing dies using this reloading press decapping rod.
  • Target shooters maintaining Redding conventional sizing dies — relies on heat-treated steel construction to restore straight alignment when running 7mm Remington Magnum and .30-06 Springfield dies without replacing the complete 7/8"-14 die body.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing short-action cartridges such as .223 Rem and .308 Win, or those utilizing Redding Type-S Bushing and Competition series dies, which require shorter action-specific decapping rods, or dedicated universal decapping dies designed strictly for high-volume depriming prior to case cleaning.
