Will the Redding 84406 die set work with standard .22-250 Remington brass?

No, this deluxe die set is strictly engineered for the .22-250 Remington Ackley Improved with a 40-degree shoulder angle. It is not compatible with standard .22-250 Remington brass, which features a 28-degree shoulder. You must use fire-formed Ackley Improved brass or fire-form standard cases prior to using these dies.

What is included in the Redding 84406 3-die set, and what shellholder do I need?

The set includes a full-length sizing die, a neck sizing die, and a bullet seating die with a standard seating plug, along with a storage box, hex wrench, and spare decapping pin. It features industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads to fit presses commonly used in Australia. Please note that a Redding #1 shellholder is required and must be purchased separately.

Why does the Deluxe set include both a full-length and a neck sizing die for my outback hunting loads?

The inclusion of both dies gives you dual-sizing flexibility for your custom handloads. The neck sizing die is ideal for fire-formed brass used in the same bolt-action rifle, reducing work hardening and extending case life while improving concentricity. Meanwhile, the full-length sizing die resizes cases back to factory specifications when you need guaranteed, smooth chambering and extraction during demanding multi-rifle hunting trips.

Who is the Redding 22-250 Rem Ackley Improved 40° Deluxe Die Set for?

Varmint hunters shooting 22-250 Ackley Improved cartridges — full-length resizes fire-formed cases to chamber reliably in field rifles, using standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses to load flat-shooting .224" diameter projectiles for high-velocity pest control.
Long-range target shooters using custom bolt-action rifles — neck-sizes fire-formed cases with a 40° shoulder angle to preserve custom chamber fit, maintain concentricity, and extend brass longevity across repeated firings.

Less suitable for: Standard .22-250 Remington cases featuring a factory 28° shoulder angle; reloaders working with standard factory ammunition should use a standard 28-degree .22-250 Rem full-length 2-die set.
