The Redding Decapping Rod Assembly (Part Number 25307) is a complete replacement sub-assembly engineered for standard full-length and neck sizing dies tailored to .30-calibre magnum bottleneck rifle cartridges. It simultaneously deprimes spent Boxer primers and expands the inside case neck diameter to correct tolerances during the reloading press stroke. As a purely mechanical reloading tool component weighing approximately 30 g to 50 g, it provides an exact-fit replacement for bent, broken, or worn factory decapping units in compatible Redding sizing dies.

Key Features

  • Factory Sub-Assembly: Supplied complete with the threaded steel decapping rod, a standard hardened steel decapping pin, and a steel expander button.
  • Magnum Internal Reach: Sized with the proper stem length required to navigate deeper magnum case bodies and align the decapping pin precisely with the flash hole.
  • Internal Neck Sizing: Includes a factory steel expander ball machined to uniform internal neck dimensions on .30-calibre brass cases during the sizing cycle.
  • Modular Compatibility: Standard threaded design accepts factory replacement decapping pins as well as optional Redding carbide expander button upgrades.

Who is the Redding Decapping Rod Assembly for .300 Win Mag and .300 WSM for?

  • Hand-loaders reloading .300 Winchester Magnum and .300 WSM ammunition — Requires a sizing die decapping rod engineered to navigate magnum case lengths while expanding the case neck with an integrated .308-inch diameter expander ball.
  • Reloaders replacing damaged die components — Restores standard Redding magnum sizing dies to factory tolerances by providing an exact-fit replacement decapping rod assembly capable of sizing .308-inch neck diameters and depriming standard Boxer flash holes.

Less suitable for: Standard-length or short-action non-magnum cartridges such as the .308 Winchester (which require shorter standard-length decapping rod assemblies), non-.30 calibre cartridge diameters (which require calibre-matched expander assemblies), Berdan-primed cases (which require dedicated Berdan decapping tools), or Redding Type S Bushing Dies (which use dedicated bushing-style decapping assemblies without standard expander balls).
