What components are included in the Redding 338 Federal Deluxe Die Set (Model 84264)?

This 3-die set includes a full-length sizing die with a decapping rod and expander size button, a dedicated neck sizing die, and a standard bullet seating die. It also comes with a storage box that doubles as a loading block, a spare decapping pin, and a hex wrench for maintenance.

Can I use this die set for other .338 calibre cartridges like the .338 Winchester Magnum?

No, the Redding 84264 Deluxe Die Set is engineered exclusively for the .338 Federal cartridge with a 0.338 inch bullet diameter. It is completely incompatible with other .338-calibre cartridges such as the .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, or .338-06.

What reloading press thread interface and shellholders do I need for these dies?

The dies feature an industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread pattern, making them fully compatible with presses commonly used in Australia from brands like Redding, RCBS, Hornady, Lyman, and Lee. You will also need to separately acquire a Redding Standard Shellholder #1 (Part #11001) or a Redding Competition Shellholder #1 (Part #11601).

When should I use the full-length sizing die versus the neck sizing die in this set?

The neck sizing die is designed to extend brass life by neck-sizing only for fire-formed brass used in a single, specific bolt-action rifle. You should use the full-length sizing die when reloading brass fired in multiple rifles, for semi-automatic or lever-action platforms, or when preparing factory-specification tight SAAMI chambers.

.338 Federal Dies - Redding 84264

The Redding .338 Federal Deluxe Die Set (MPN 84264) is a precision 3-die reloading kit designed for handloaders producing ammunition for the .338 Federal cartridge. Machined from alloy steel on CNC lathes, heat-treated in atmospheric-controlled furnaces, and hand-polished, this tooling ensures consistent concentricity and reliable chambering. The set includes a full-length sizing die with an integrated decapping rod and expander size button, a dedicated neck sizing die, and a standard bullet seating die built to SAAMI specifications. It features the industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to ensure broad compatibility with standard reloading presses.

Key Features

Dual Sizing Options: Contains both a full-length sizing die to restore brass fired across multiple actions to factory dimensions, and a dedicated neck sizing die to preserve fire-formed case dimensions and extend brass life for specific bolt-action rifles.
SAAMI-Specification Seating: The standard bullet seating die provides consistent overall cartridge length (COAL) and minimal bullet runout for .338" diameter projectiles.
Complete Tooling Package: Includes a storage box that doubles as a cartridge loading block, a hex wrench, and a spare decapping pin.
Universal Press Interface: Uses standard 7/8"-14 threading to fit single-stage and turret reloading presses without requiring proprietary adapters.

Who is the Redding 338 Federal Deluxe Die Set for?

Handloaders loading .338 Federal ammunition for bolt-action rifles — provides a dedicated neck sizing die alongside a 7/8"-14 threaded full-length die, allowing reloaders to size only the neck of fire-formed .338 Federal cases to extend brass life and maintain fire-formed headspace.
Hunters loading .338 Federal cartridges for medium-to-large game — delivers a complete 338 Federal reloading die set equipped with a SAAMI-specification seating die and full-length sizing die, ensuring cartridges loaded with 0.338" diameter bullets feed reliably in field hunting rifles.

Less suitable for: Handloaders working with other .338-calibre cases such as .338 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum, or .338-06, which exceed .338 Federal case dimensions and require cartridge-specific dedicated magnum or standard die sets.
