Is the Redding 10711 decapping rod compatible with Redding Competition Type S dies?

No, this decapping rod is specifically designed for standard Redding Type S Bushing Sizing Dies and is incompatible with Redding Competition Type S dies, which rely on a dedicated floating system. Using the correct rod ensures proper alignment and prevents damage to your precision reloading setup.

Which specific cartridge families are supported by the Redding 10711 decapping rod?

The Redding 10711 is engineered for small-to-medium bottleneck cases, making it ideal for popular Australian target and pest control calibres including .222 Remington, .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and 6.5 Creedmoor. It is not compatible with sub-calibres like .17 and .20, nor standard or long-action calibres such as .308 Winchester.

Can I use this decapping rod without an expander ball if I want to size using only neck bushings?

Yes, the threaded design of the 10711 allows you to secure a decapping pin retainer plug instead of an expander button when you prefer to size solely with neck bushings. This setup helps reduce excessive brass working and case stretch during high-precision reloading sessions.

What maintenance or accessories should I consider when installing this replacement rod for outback reloading?

When installing your replacement rod, ensure you use a quality case lubricant such as Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax to minimize friction and prevent future rod bending during heavy use in remote Australian conditions. Always inspect the decapping pin and ensure proper vertical positioning inside the die body before starting your press run.

Decapping Rod - Redding 10711

The Redding Type S Decapping Rod (MPN: 10711) is a precision-machined, heat-treated steel replacement spindle designed for standard Redding Type S Bushing Sizing Dies. Built for mechanical reloading presses, this threaded rod replaces bent, stripped, or damaged factory decapping stems. It accommodates standard or carbide expander buttons as well as decapping pin retainers, allowing handloaders to run standard sizing operations or size exclusively with neck bushings to reduce brass working and case stretch.

Who is the Redding Type S Decapping Rod for?

Handloaders targeting pest control and precision shooting — requires a dedicated decapping rod sized for small-to-medium bottleneck cases from .222 Remington up to 6.5 Creedmoor in Redding Type S bushing sizing dies.
Reloaders maintaining or repairing reloading dies — provides a direct-fit replacement decapping stem for standard Redding Type S dies to correct stripped threads or bent rods without replacing the entire die assembly.

Less suitable for: Handloaders sizing sub-calibres below .22 calibre such as .17 and .20 cal, long-action or standard cartridges such as .308 Winchester and .30-06, or users running Redding Competition Type S neck sizing dies; these applications require dedicated small-bore decapping stems, longer standard/magnum Type S decapping rods, or floating competition decapping assemblies.
