What dies are included in the Redding 29155 Master Hunter Deluxe set for .308 Winchester?

This 3-die set includes a Full-Length Sizing Die with a decapping assembly, a dedicated Neck Sizing Die, and a Competition Bullet Seating Die. The seating die features a micrometer adjustment head calibrated in 0.001 inch increments and an internal sliding sleeve to align the case and bullet before seating.

Are reloading dies like the Redding Master Hunter set regulated or restricted in Australia?

No, reloading dies and mechanical tooling are unregulated accessories in Australia and do not require a firearms licence or permit to acquire for purchase. Furthermore, because this is an unpowered mechanical tool, it does not require electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications.

Will this die set apply a crimp to my .308 Winchester rounds?

No, the Competition Bullet Seating Die in this set is designed exclusively to seat bullets and does not apply a crimp. If you are loading ammunition for hard-recoiling semi-automatic rifles or tubular magazines that require a crimp, you will need to purchase a separate taper or roll crimp die.

What additional equipment do I need to start using this set on my reloading press?

The dies feature a standard 7/8 inch-14 thread pitch that fits most single-stage and turret presses. You will also need to acquire a compatible #1 shellholder separately, along with a suitable case lubricant such as Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax to ensure smooth case resizing.

Is this set suitable if I want to adjust neck tension using custom bushings?

No, the Master Hunter Deluxe set uses standard, non-bushing sizing dies with fixed internal neck dimensions. If your reloading process requires custom neck turning or specific neck clearance tolerances using interchangeable bushings, a bushing-style option like the Redding Type S Bushing Die Set would be more suitable.

308 Reloading Dies - Redding 29155

The Redding .308 Winchester Master Hunter Deluxe 3-Die Set (Part 29155) is an unpowered mechanical reloading toolset designed to produce match-grade .308 Winchester ammunition. Built with standard 7/8"-14 thread pitch compatibility, these precision-machined, heat-treated alloy steel dies fit standard single-stage and turret reloading presses. The 3-die configuration provides dual sizing options—full-length resizing for field reliability and neck sizing for fire-formed brass—combined with a competition seating die to minimise runout and maintain exact cartridge overall length.

Key Features

Competition Seating Precision: Features a floating alignment sleeve that fully supports the cartridge case and bullet along the entire stroke, ensuring concentric seating and minimal bullet runout.
Micrometer Adjustment Head: Fitted with an engraved micrometer calibrated in 0.001" increments to dial, track, and replicate seating depths and overall lengths accurately.
Dual Sizing Flexibility: Includes a full-length sizing die with decapping/expander assembly for factory-dimension feeding, alongside a dedicated standard neck sizing die to minimise brass work-hardening on fire-formed cases.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel, precision-machined and polished to withstand repeated reloading cycles.

Who is the Redding 308 Win Master Hunter Deluxe Die Set for?

Precision rifle reloaders shooting 308 Winchester — who require competition-grade concentricity using the Competition Seating Die with its 0.001" micrometer adjustment increments to precisely control seating depth and cartridge overall length for .308 Winchester cartridges on standard 7/8"-14 reloading presses.
Hunters loading match-grade ammunition for 308 Win bolt-action rifles — who need to switch between full-length sizing for reliable cycling and neck sizing to prolong brass life, utilizing the 308 Winchester 3-die set's dedicated dies featuring standard 7/8"-14 threading.

Less suitable for: Reloaders working with tight-tolerance custom chambers requiring custom neck turning or specific neck clearance tolerances, where bushing-style sizing die sets with interchangeable neck bushings suit better than fixed internal neck dimension dies; and semi-automatic or tubular magazine applications requiring a dedicated roll or taper crimp, which requires a separate crimp die as this competition seating die only seats the projectile.
