What specific dies are compatible with the Redding 98326 carbide kit?

The Redding 98326 kit is engineered specifically for Redding Competition Bushing Neck Sizing Dies in .264 / 6.5mm calibre. Please note it is incompatible with standard Full Length or standard Type-S Bushing dies, which require a different kit variant.

Do I need to use inside neck lubricants with this carbide sizing button?

No, one of the primary benefits of the polished carbide material is that it allows for smooth, lube-free inside neck sizing. The floating design minimizes drag and friction during the sizing stroke, reducing brass fatigue on your 6.5mm ammunition.

Does this reloading accessory require any special Australian compliance or licensing to purchase?

As a passive, un-serialized mechanical reloading component, the Redding 98326 kit operates without electricity and does not require electrical certifications like SAA or RCM. It can be freely purchased and shipped to handloaders across Australia without special firearms dealer licensing.

6.5mm Carbide Kit - Redding 98326

The Redding .264 / 6.5mm Carbide Size Button Kit for Competition Bushing Neck Dies (MPN 98326) is a precision metallic cartridge reloading component engineered to uniform inside case neck diameters while reducing friction. Designed with a free-floating assembly, the polished carbide expander button self-centers inside the case neck during the sizing stroke, minimizing neck runout and eliminating the brass stretching and shoulder distortion often associated with standard steel expander balls.

Ultra-Low Friction Carbide Construction: The polished carbide button expands inside neck diameters smoothly, eliminating or significantly reducing the need for inside neck lubricants while preventing brass galling.
Self-Centering Floating Design: The expander button floats freely on the decapping rod assembly, self-aligning with the case neck axis to minimize total indicated runout (TIR).
Reduced Brass Stress: Decreases the drag and pulling force exerted on cartridge shoulders during the die's upward extraction stroke, extending brass case life.
Complete Replacement Assembly: Supplied with the floating carbide sizing button, dedicated decapping rod/retainer hardware, and a replacement decapping pin.
