Will this Redding 80261R die set fit my standard reloading press?

Yes, this two-die set features industry-standard 7/8"-14 TPI threads, making it fully compatible with standard single-stage, turret, and progressive reloading presses. It will not fit presses with smaller or oversized threads unless you use a suitable thread adapter.

Do I need to lubricate cartridge cases before using the full-length sizing die?

Yes, case lubrication is strictly mandatory prior to sizing because these dies are constructed from non-carbide heat-treated steel. Failing to apply a quality case lube such as Imperial Sizing Wax will result in stuck brass and potential damage to the interior of the sizing die.

What shellholder do I need to purchase separately to use with this .26 Nosler die set?

To properly cycle brass through this die set, you will need a Redding Shellholder #6, which is sold separately. This ensures your fired .26 Nosler cases lock securely into the ram of your press for consistent sizing and decapping.

Does this die set require any electrical compliance or special permits under Australian law?

No, this is a completely manual mechanical tool requiring no electricity, meaning standard Australian electrical ratings like 240V or SAA/RCM certifications do not apply. Additionally, as inert reloading equipment, the dies are generally exempt from state firearms licensing permits, though you must still follow local regulations for propellant and primer storage.

26 Nosler Die Set - Redding 80261R

The Redding 80261R 26 Nosler Full Length Reloading Die Set is a precision two-die tooling package designed to return fired cartridge cases to factory-standard dimensions and seat new projectiles. Built from heat-treated, hand-polished alloy steel, this mechanical reloading set operates on standard reloading presses to support routine ammunition preparation for the high-velocity .26 Nosler cartridge.

Key Features

Full-Length Resizing: The full-length sizing die restores the entire cartridge body to factory specifications and bumps the shoulder back to maintain consistent headspace.
Integrated Decapping and Neck Expansion: Features an internal decapping assembly with a steel expander button that removes spent primers and expands the case neck to accommodate standard 0.264-inch (6.5 mm) bullets in a single stroke.
Bullet Seating and Crimping: The seating die includes an internal bullet alignment guide with an adjustable seating plug, capable of delivering a friction-fit hold or applying a built-in roll crimp.
Industry-Standard Interface: Machined with 7/8"-14 TPI threads to fit standard single-stage, turret, and progressive reloading presses.
Durable Construction: Heat-treated alloy steel construction polished to tight internal tolerances to ensure smooth brass feeding and extraction during the stroke.

Who is the Redding 26 Nosler Full Length Reloading Die Set for?

Long-Range Target Shooters and Hunters — Resizes fired cartridge cases and seats 0.264-inch bullets back to factory headspace and profile dimensions using a dedicated 2-die set for the .26 Nosler cartridge.
Handloaders with Standard Reloading Presses — Mounts directly into single-stage or progressive presses utilising the standard 7/8"-14 TPI thread interface for complete decapping, full-length sizing, and bullet seating.

Less suitable for: Presses using non-standard thread pitches (such as 5/8"-18 or 1-1/4"-12 threads without adapters), or applications requiring unlubricated operation, as non-carbide steel dies require high-pressure case lubrication prior to sizing; reloaders needing micro-adjustable neck tension in 0.001-inch increments are better served by bushing-style full-length sizing dies.
