What shellholder do I need to use with the Redding 338 Win Mag Full Length Die Set (Model 80163)?

This die set requires a standard #6 shellholder, such as the Redding Shellholder Part #11006, which is sold separately. The die bodies themselves feature industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads that fit all standard reloading presses available in Australia.

Can I use this die set to reload other .338 calibre cartridges like .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 RUM?

No, this die set is strictly compatible only with .338 Winchester Magnum bottleneck cases. Attempting to use it on other .338-calibre cartridges such as .338 Lapua Mag or .338 RUM will result in improper sizing and potential damage to your brass or equipment.

Does this die set include neck sizing bushings, or do I need to purchase them separately?

The Redding Series A 80163 is a standard full-length die set and does not use interchangeable neck sizing bushings. If you require precise neck tension control in increments of 0.001" using bushings like the Redding 73333, you would need to look at Redding's Type S Bushing Die line instead.

Are there any electrical or compliance certifications required for operating this reloading die set in Australia?

No electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications are required because this product consists entirely of manual, non-powered steel workshop reloading tools. It operates purely through mechanical force applied via your reloading press.

338 Win Mag Die Set - Redding 80163

The Redding 338 Win Mag Full Length Die Set (MPN: 80163) is a two-die workshop reloading kit engineered to return fired cartridge cases to factory SAAMI dimensions while seating bullets for consistent ammunition assembly. Built from heat-treated alloy steel machined on precision lathes and hand-polished, the set features a full-length sizing die with an integrated decapping rod assembly and expander button, alongside a dedicated bullet seating die with an internal bullet guide and built-in roll crimp ring. Sized with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads, this die set mounts into standard reloading presses to produce reliable ammunition for large-calibre hunting and shooting platforms.

Full-Length Case Resizing: Restores fired bottleneck cases back to factory dimensions to ensure smooth, unhindered chambering across various rifle actions.
Precision Bullet Alignment: The seating die utilizes an internal bullet guide to align .338" projectiles concentrically, with an integrated roll-crimp function for securing heavy hunting bullets.
Robust Alloy Steel Construction: Heat-treated alloy steel bodies provide wear resistance, weighing approximately 1.28 lbs (0.58 kg) for long-term bench stability.
Universal Bench Compatibility: Machined with 7/8"-14 threaded die bodies to fit standard Australian reloading presses, requiring a standard #6 shellholder for operation.
Included Accessories: Supplied in a hard plastic storage box that doubles as a cartridge loading block, complete with a spare decapping pin and hex adjustment wrench.

Who is the Redding 338 Win Mag Full Length Die Set for?

Australian big-game hunters — Resizes fired .338 Winchester Magnum bottleneck cases back to exact factory dimensions to guarantee smooth feeding and extraction during high-stakes hunts for large game such as sambar deer.
Precision handloaders — Fits all standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses to assemble heavy .338" projectile handloads with consistent alignment and proper neck tension.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to resize other .338-calibre cartridges, as this die set is strictly dimensioned for .338 Winchester Magnum cases; users loading larger magnums like .338 Lapua Magnum or .338 Remington Ultra Magnum require a dedicated calibre-specific full-length die set designed for those distinct case bodies.
