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.

Key Features

  • Modular Bushing Retention: Secures and properly floats Redding interchangeable sizing bushings inside Type S dies while maintaining independent decapping depth adjustment.
  • 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.
  • Direct OEM Replacement: Fully replaces bent spindles, stripped lock collars, or damaged pins to restore factory tolerances in compatible short-action sizing dies.
  • 100% Mechanical Operation: Requires no electrical power or external connections, functioning directly within standard manual reloading press setups.

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.

Less suitable for: Handloaders processing longer .30-calibre cases such as .30-06 Springfield, .300 Win Mag, or .30-378 Wby Mag (which require longer-reach decap rod assemblies), reloaders using standard non-bushing or Competition Neck dies, or shooters resizing brass with .059 inch (1.50 mm) small flash holes where standard .062 inch pins bind, requiring dedicated undersize decapping pins instead.
