Will the Redding 34223 decapping rod assembly work in my Redding Type S Bushing sizing die for the .220 Swift?

No, this assembly is strictly designed for Redding standard or conventional full-length and neck sizing dies in .220 Swift and .220 Swift Improved 40 degrees. Redding Type S Bushing dies require dedicated Type-S decapping stems like part number 10712 and use interchangeable bushings rather than a standard size button.

Can I use the Redding 34223 decapping rod for shorter .22-calibre cases like the .223 Remington or .22-250 Remington?

No, the 34223 assembly is dimensionally engineered specifically for the longer case length of the .220 Swift. For .223 Remington or .22-250 Remington cases, you will need assembly number 33223, as using the wrong rod length will prevent proper sizing and decapping depth.

Does purchasing the Redding .220 Swift Decapping Rod Assembly require any Australian firearms licences or permits?

No, under Australian state and territory firearms legislation, un-serialized reloading bench tools and die accessories like decapping rods are classified as non-restricted equipment. You do not need a permit to acquire or an Australian Firearms Licence to purchase or own this component.

What size button is included on this assembly, and can it be upgraded to carbide?

The Redding 34223 comes equipped with a standard .224-inch steel size button (part #39223) and a standard decapping pin (part #01060). If you prefer lower friction during high-volume reloading sessions in the outback or workshop, the modular construction allows you to upgrade directly to the optional Redding Carbide Size Button part #48223 without replacing the entire rod.

Redding 220 Swift Rod - Redding 34223

The Redding 220 Swift Decapping Rod Assembly (Manufacturer Part Number 34223) is a precision-machined, heat-treated steel replacement unit designed for Redding standard full-length and neck sizing dies. This complete factory assembly simultaneously expels spent Boxer primers from fired cartridge cases and expands the case neck to achieve proper internal neck tension upon withdrawal from the die. It directly replaces bent, stripped, or damaged internal decapping components without requiring the replacement of the entire die body.

Key Features

Dual-Action Processing: Concurrently punches out spent Boxer primers and expands the case neck to the correct internal dimension in a single press stroke.
Modular Assembly: Comprises three individual sub-components: a decapping rod (Part #01034), a .224-inch expander button (Part #39223), and a standard decapping pin (Part #01060).
Factory Calibre Match: Tailored specifically to the internal depth and thread interface of standard .220 Swift and .220 Swift Improved 40° die bodies.
Component Upgradability: The modular stem design allows handloaders to replace individual worn decapping pins or upgrade to optional Redding carbide or tapered size buttons.

Who is the Redding 220 Swift Decapping Rod Assembly for?

Handloaders reloading .220 Swift ammunition — Requires a 0.224-inch diameter expander button calibrated specifically to the length of the .220 Swift case to set consistent internal neck tension while removing spent primers.
Reloaders maintaining Redding conventional sizing dies — Needs a dedicated reloading die decapping rod engineered with a 0.224-inch expander button to replace bent or worn stems inside standard .220 Swift and .220 Swift Improved 40° dies without replacing the full die set.

Less suitable for: Shorter .22-calibre cases such as the .223 Remington or .22-250 Remington, cartridge brass featuring Berdan primers or undersized 0.059-inch (1.5 mm) flash holes, and Redding Type S Bushing dies; these require shorter dedicated decapping stems, small-diameter decapping pins, or specialized Type-S bushing decapping assemblies.
