What is the specific calibre range supported by the Redding Type S Large Pin Retainer Model 10196?

This large pin retainer is specifically engineered for calibres ranging from .270 / 6.8mm up through .338 calibres. It is not compatible with smaller calibres like .224, 6mm, or 6.5mm, which require the smaller pin retainer variant.

How do I install this retainer when removing the expander button from my Redding Type S die?

When you omit the factory expander/sizing button to size cartridge necks solely via the exterior bushing, the #10196 retainer threads directly onto the bottom of the decapping rod. This locks the standard decapping pin securely in position, allowing you to punch out spent primers without internal neck expansion.

Does this mechanical reloading accessory require any electrical certifications for use in Australia?

No. As a purely mechanical component machined from heat-treated steel, it requires no electrical power and does not fall under Australian RCM or SAA certification frameworks, making it safe and straightforward for your reloading bench setup.

What maintenance is required to ensure the longevity of the heat-treated steel pin retainer?

The precision-machined steel construction requires virtually no maintenance beyond keeping it clean and free of carbon residue or debris from case resizing. Storing it in a dry environment on your reloading bench will prevent any surface oxidation and ensure a long operating lifespan.

Pin Retainer - Redding 10196

The Redding Type S Decapping Rod Decapping Pin Retainer (Large), Redding model 10196, is a precision-machined, heat-treated steel reloading component designed for Redding Type S Bushing Full Length and Neck Sizing dies. When precision handloaders omit the factory expander button to size cartridge case necks exclusively via external bushings, this retainer threads onto the base of the decapping rod. It secures standard Redding decapping pins in place, allowing spent primer removal during sizing without expanding the cartridge neck from the inside, reducing brass work-hardening and concentricity error.

Key Features

Who is the Redding Type S Die Large Pin Retainer for?

Precision rifle reloaders shooting .270 through .338 calibres — sizes case necks without an expander ball using Redding Type S dies across calibres ranging from .270 / 6.8mm through to .338 calibre while retaining the decapping pin for primer expulsion.
Benchrest competitors tuning case neck tension — eliminates internal neck friction by securing the decapping pin without an expander button on cases from .270 / 6.8mm up to .338 calibre, maintaining consistent brass neck concentricity.

Less suitable for: Handloaders sizing cartridges with bore diameters smaller than .270 (such as .20 calibre, .224/5.56mm, 6mm, or 6.5mm) or cases featuring 0.059-inch (1.5mm) small-diameter flash holes; these require a small-profile decapping pin retainer designed specifically for sub-.270 calibres and undersized flash holes.
