The Redding 22 Caliber Carbide Sizing Button is a drop-in upgrade for reloaders who want to eliminate the friction and mess of lubricated neck sizing. If you're running Redding Standard or Type S dies and tired of cleaning lube residue off your brass, this carbide button swap delivers a noticeably smoother sizing stroke without any need for case lube. The carbide material itself is harder and slicker than conventional steel, so your brass slides through with less resistance—a quality-of-life improvement that compound reloaders will appreciate across hundreds of rounds.
The button floats freely on the decapping rod and self-centers itself in the case neck, which means you get consistent sizing geometry without fussy alignment or binding. This is especially valuable if you're processing match brass or prepping precision rifle ammo where neck tension matters. The kit includes everything you need to make the swap: the carbide button, retainer, and a spare decapping pin, so you can get to work right away.
Keep in mind this button is engineered specifically for Redding's standard and Type S neck and full-length sizing dies; it won't retrofit other manufacturers' equipment. The decapping rod itself is not included, so you're keeping your existing setup intact—just swapping the wear part. For 22-caliber reloaders running Redding gear, this is a practical upgrade that pays for itself in reduced frustration and faster prep work.

Yes, if you're using Redding Standard or Type S neck and full-length sizing dies for 22 caliber. It is not compatible with other manufacturers' dies or other Redding die models.
Do I need to use case lube with this button?
No. The carbide material is smooth and slippery enough that neck sizing works cleanly without lubrication, which saves you cleanup time and hassle.
What's included in the kit?

This button is specifically sized for 22-caliber cartridges. Redding offers carbide buttons in other caliber ranges up through 30 caliber, but you'll need the correct caliber-specific button for your cartridge.
