What dies are included in the Redding 17 Hornet Deluxe Set (Model 84279)?

This deluxe 3-die set includes a Full-Length Sizing Die with a decapping rod assembly and expander button, a dedicated Neck Sizing Die, and a Standard Bullet Seating Die with a standard seat plug. All dies feature standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit most popular reloading presses.

Which shellholder do I need to use with this 17 Hornet die set?

The Redding 17 Hornet Deluxe Die Set requires a Redding Shellholder #14, which is sold separately. Ensure you use the correct #14 shellholder to guarantee proper case alignment and smooth operation during your reloading sessions.

Can I use neck-sized 17 Hornet brass across multiple bolt-action rifles?

No, cases resized using the dedicated neck sizing die should only be used in the exact same bolt-action rifle they were originally fired from. If you are reloading ammunition for multiple rifles, you must use the included full-length sizing die to ensure reliable chambering.

Are there any electrical compliance requirements or Australian plugs needed for this product?

No electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications are required because this is a purely mechanical, non-powered reloading tool. It is entirely suited for manual workbench operation in your shed or outback reloading room without any mains power connection.

.17 Hornet Die Set - Redding 84279

The Redding .17 Hornet Deluxe 3-Die Set (Model 84279) is a precision-machined alloy steel reloading set engineered for standard SAAMI-spec .17 Hornet ammunition. Manufactured on Hardinge Super-Precision lathes, heat-treated in atmospherically controlled furnaces, and hand-polished, this three-die package provides reloaders with both full-length and neck sizing capabilities alongside a standard bullet seating die for thin-walled .17 Hornet cartridge cases.

Key Features

Dual Sizing Capability: Contains both a full-length sizing die with a decapping rod and expander assembly, and a dedicated neck sizing die to support varied reloading workflows.
Extended Case Life: Dedicated neck sizing works only the case neck of fire-formed brass, minimising brass work-hardening and fatigue on thin-walled cases.
Precision Construction: Machined from high-grade alloy steel with standard 7/8"-14 threading to fit conventional reloading presses.
Complete Three-Die Configuration: Includes a full-length sizing die (#91279), a neck sizing die (#81279), and a standard seating die (#92279) with seating plug (#01085).

Who is the Redding 17 Hornet Deluxe Die Set for?

Varmint hunters managing Australian fox and rabbit populations — mounts via industry-standard 7/8"-14 press threads to produce consistent 0.172" diameter ammunition, allowing quick switching to the full-length sizing die when reliable feeding across multiple field rifles is required.
Precision target shooters seeking extended brass life — uses the dedicated neck sizing die to resize only the neck of fire-formed 0.172" calibre brass for a single bolt-action rifle, reducing brass fatigue without overworking thin-walled .17 Hornet cases.

Less suitable for: Firearm owners loading non-standard chambers such as .17 Remington, .17 Fireball, or legacy .17 Ackley Hornet, which require dedicated calibre-specific dies, or shooters reloading neck-sized brass across multiple different rifles where full-length resizing dies are required to ensure reliable chambering.
