Will the Redding 80531 die set work with my standard reloading press in Australia?

Yes, the Redding 260 Rem Full Length Die Set features the industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface. It is fully compatible with all common single-stage and progressive reloading presses used in Australia, such as the RCBS Rock Chucker, Hornady Lock-N-Load, and Redding Big Boss series.

Do I need to purchase a shellholder separately for the Redding 80531 set?

Yes, a standard shellholder is required but not included in the box. You will need a standard shellholder #1, such as the Redding Part #11001 or an equivalent brand standard shellholder, to properly secure your 260 Remington brass into the ram.

Can I use this die set to resize 260 Remington Ackley Improved (AI) brass?

No, the Redding 80531 is strictly designed for standard factory 260 Remington cases to SAAMI dimensions. It is not compatible with wildcats or altered shoulder angles like the 260 Remington AI Ackley Improved 40-degree, which requires a dedicated Ackley Improved die set.

Are there any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications required for this tool in Australia?

No, the Redding 260 Rem Full Length Die Set is an entirely unpowered, mechanical reloading tool made from heat-treated alloy steel. Therefore, 240V mains power requirements, Australian wall plugs, and SAA/RCM electrical safety certifications are completely inapplicable.

260 Rem Die Set - Redding 80531

The Redding 260 Rem Full Length Die Set (Model 80531, Series A) is a two-die mechanical reloading system designed to process .260 Remington cartridge brass. Engineered for standard 7/8"-14 threaded reloading presses, the set restores fired bottleneck cases to factory SAAMI dimensions by resizing the entire case body, shoulder datum, and neck while decapping the spent primer. The included seating die features an internal bullet guide to align .264" (6.5 mm) diameter projectiles squarely with the case neck, maintaining consistent cartridge overall length (COAL) with the option to apply a roll crimp.

Key Features

Two-Die Architecture: Includes a Full Length Sizing Die (Part #91531) with an internal decapping assembly and expander button, alongside a Bullet Seating Die (Part #92531) with a standard seat plug and built-in roll-crimp ring.
Full-Length Resizing: Returns fired brass to factory SAAMI specifications to ensure reliable feeding, chambering, and extraction across factory and custom chambers.
Heat-Treated Alloy Steel: Precision-machined construction resists dimensional distortion and prevents brass scoring over thousands of reloading cycles.
Press Compatibility: Fits all standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses using the industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread standard.
Decapping & Expanding Assembly: Features a replaceable steel decapping pin (#01060) and expander size button (#39263) to open case mouths cleanly during the sizing stroke.

Who is the Redding 260 Rem Full Length Die Set for?

Hunters using varied .260 Remington platforms — Full-length resizes fired brass down to factory SAAMI dimensions across the entire case body and shoulder, ensuring smooth feeding and extraction in both bolt-action and semi-automatic .260 Remington rifles threaded to the standard 7/8"-14 press pattern.
Handloaders managing brass across multiple firearms — Restores uniform headspacing and true neck dimensions for mixed .264" (6.5 mm) bullet diameter brass, preventing chambering resistance when swapping fired cases between different .260 Remington rifle chambers.

Less suitable for: Handloaders firing wildcat cartridges with modified shoulder geometry, such as the .260 Remington Ackley Improved with a 40-degree shoulder angle, who require a dedicated Ackley-specification die set.
