Will the Redding Pistol Decapping Rod Assembly Model 22097 work with my Redding Type-S Bushing Dies?

No, this assembly is not compatible with Redding Type-S Bushing Dies, Competition Bushing Dies, or universal heavy-duty decapping dies. It is specifically engineered as a direct OEM replacement stem for standard Redding pistol sizing die sets and dedicated 9mm Luger Titanium Carbide sizing dies.

What maintenance is required to ensure the longevity of the heat-treated steel rod and decapping pin?

The decapping rod assembly is crafted from precision-machined steel with a black oxide finish for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. To maintain optimal performance during heavy reloading sessions in outback conditions, simply keep the threads clean, lightly lubricate the expander ball, and ensure the replaceable steel decapping pin remains straight and securely tightened.

Are there any electrical compliance certifications or special regulatory requirements needed for this reloading component in Australia?

Because the Redding Pistol Decapping Rod Assembly is a fully mechanical reloading accessory requiring no power source, electrical certifications such as 240V mains compliance and RCM or SAA safety approvals are not applicable. It is freely available across Australian gunsmithing and reloading supply networks.

Decapping Rod Assembly - Redding 22097

The Redding Pistol Decapping Rod Assembly (Part #22097) is an OEM replacement assembly designed to restore standard Redding pistol sizing dies. Constructed from heat-treated, precision-machined steel with a protective black oxide finish, this complete unit integrates a central threaded steel decapping stem, an expander ball retainer, and a replaceable steel decapping pin. It allows reloaders to simultaneously decap spent primers and re-align internal case necks during the resizing stroke on a reloading press.

Key Features

Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces bent, stripped, or worn factory decapping stems inside standard Redding handgun sizing dies.
Heat-Treated Steel Construction: Machined from solid steel with a black oxide finish to withstand repetitive mechanical resizing cycles.
Dual-Action Operation: Expels spent primers and expands the case neck interior in a single pass through the die.
User-Serviceable Design: Features a replaceable steel decapping pin and threads directly into compatible die bodies without requiring specialised tools.
