What specific dies and calibres is the Redding Type S Decapping Assembly Model 21308 compatible with?

This assembly is designed specifically for Redding Type S Bushing Full Length Resizing Dies and Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Dies chambered in .308 Winchester, .30-30 Winchester, and .300 Remington SAUM. It is strictly limited to these short-action .30-cal cartridges and will not fit longer cases like the .30-06 Springfield or .300 Win Mag, nor will it fit standard non-bushing Redding dies.

Can I use this decapping assembly with brass that features small flash holes, such as Lapua .059 inch brass?

The assembly comes equipped with a standard Redding decapping pin measuring approximately .062 inches in diameter. When reloading brass with small flash holes like Lapua 1.50 mm cases, the standard pin may bind, so you will need to substitute it with a Redding undersize decapping pin.

Does this mechanical reloading component require any Australian electrical certifications or 240V power?

No, the Redding Type S Decapping Assembly is a 100% mechanical reloading tool requiring no power supply. Therefore, 240V compatibility and SAA or RCM regulatory certifications are entirely not applicable to this product.

What products pair well with this decapping assembly when setting up a .308 Winchester reloading bench?

To get the most out of your reloading setup, pair this assembly with the Redding 80155 308 Winchester Full Length Reloading Die Set and Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax Case Lube to ensure smooth case sizing and protected brass necks during outback reloading sessions.

Decapping Rod Assembly - Redding 21308

The Redding Type S Decapping Rod Assembly (Part #21308) is a factory-original replacement and calibre-conversion component engineered specifically for Redding Type S Bushing Full Length and Neck Resizing Dies. Designed for short-action .30-calibre cartridges, this assembly retains interchangeable sizing bushings while providing an adjustable spindle mechanism for spent primer removal. It allows handloaders to run standard internal neck expansion using the included .30-calibre steel expander button or remove the button entirely to size neck tension solely via external bushings.

Configurable Expanding: Ships with a standard .30-calibre steel size button that can be retained for conventional inside neck expanding or removed for minimal brass working.

Who is the Redding Type S Decapping Assembly 308 Win, 30-30 Win, 300 Rem Saum for?

Precision rifle handloaders maintaining .308 Winchester reloading equipment — requires a dedicated replacement reloading die assembly equipped with a nominal .062 inch (1.57 mm) decapping pin to replace damaged spindles in Type S bushing dies without altering calibrated bushing float.
Handloaders servicing .30-30 Winchester and .300 Rem SAUM Type S bushing dies — relies on a .30 calibre (Part #40307) steel size button and short-action rod length to maintain correct internal case neck dimensions during cartridge resizing.
