Will the Redding 81318 neck sizing die work with my standard Australian reloading press?

Yes, this die features the standard 7/8"-14 reloading press threading which is fully compatible with presses commonly used in Australia, such as Redding, RCBS, Lyman, Hornady, and Lee. You will also need a Redding Shellholder #12, which is sold separately.

Can I use ammunition loaded with this neck sizing die in my semi-automatic or lever-action rifle?

No, this die is strictly intended for bolt-action rifles only. Neck-sized ammunition does not have its shoulder bumped or body resized, which can cause severe chambering resistance and reliability issues in semi-automatic, lever-action, pump-action, or auto-loading firearms.

How often do I need to switch to a full-length sizing or body die when using the Redding 22 PPC USA Neck Sizing Die?

After 3 to 5 firings, cartridge cases will naturally stretch and chamber clearance will decrease depending on your powder loads. Once you notice that bolt closure becomes stiff, you must temporarily switch to a Full Length Sizing Die or Body Die to bump the shoulder back and resize the case body.

22 PPC Neck Sizing Die - Redding 81318

The Redding 22 PPC USA Neck Sizing Die (Model 81318) is a dedicated reloading tool engineered to resize only the neck of fired .22 PPC USA cartridge cases while leaving the fire-formed body and shoulder dimensions unchanged. Machined from alloy steel on Hardinge Super-Precision® lathes, heat-treated in atmospheric furnaces, and hand-polished, this die minimises brass work-hardening to maintain concentricity and extend case life for bolt-action rifles. It threads into standard 7/8"-14 reloading presses and includes an integrated decapping rod assembly and lock ring.

Key Features

Targeted Neck Sizing: Resizes the neck to seat standard .224" diameter projectiles without altering the fire-formed body or shoulder geometry of the case.
Extended Brass Life: Minimises cold working of the cartridge brass, reducing case fatigue compared to full-length resizing.
Standard Press Interface: Features industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading for direct compatibility with mainstream single-stage and progressive reloading presses.
Precision Construction: Manufactured from heat-treated alloy steel with hand-polished interior surfaces to ensure smooth operation and uniform neck dimensions.
Complete Decapping Assembly: Supplied with decapping rod assembly #32223, size button #39223, decapping pin #01059, and a 7/8"-14 lock ring #01016.

Who is the Redding 22 PPC USA Neck Sizing Die for?

Precision benchrest shooters reloading for bolt-action rifles — requires dedicated neck sizing for fire-formed .22 PPC USA brass to maintain strict chamber concentricity with .224" diameter projectiles.
Handloaders seeking maximum brass case longevity — benefits from this 22 PPC USA neck sizing die to eliminate unnecessary working of the case body and shoulder, extending the usable life of match-grade brass cases fired in a single chamber.

Less suitable for: Firearm platforms operating with semi-automatic, lever-action, pump-action, or auto-loading actions, or cartridge cases that have reached 3 to 5 firings where brass growth causes stiff bolt closure; these conditions require a full length sizing die or a dedicated body die to set the shoulder back to factory dimensions.
