What specific cartridges is the Redding 01026 decapping rod designed to fit?

The Redding 01026 decapping rod is precision-machined specifically for .17-calibre centerfire cartridges with a nominal .172" bullet diameter. It is directly compatible with Redding standard sizing dies configured for .17 Hornet, .17 Remington Fireball, and .17 Mach IV cases.

Does this SKU include the decapping pin and expander button, or is it just the bare rod?

This product represents the bare replacement decapping rod only. It does not include the decapping pin or the calibre expander/size button, which must be retained from your existing assembly or purchased separately.

Can I use the Redding 01026 for universal depriming outside of a sizing die?

No, this rod is intended specifically as a direct-fit replacement component for Redding standard full-length and neck sizing dies. For universal depriming outside of a sizing die, you must instead use the Redding Universal Decapping Die system with its own specialised decapping rod.

Are there any electrical or regulatory compliance requirements for this tool in Australia?

No. The Redding 01026 is an entirely manual, non-powered mechanical reloading tool requiring 0V and 0W. Therefore, Australian electrical compliance, 240V mains compatibility, and SAA or RCM regulatory approvals are not applicable.

What material is the Redding 01026 decapping rod made from to handle high-volume reloading?

This replacement rod is constructed from precision-machined, heat-treated steel. This high-strength material provides the durability required to withstand the rigors of high-volume reloading for small-calibre pest-control rounds used by Australian varmint hunters.
