Redding 22 Hornet 3 Die Set

The Redding 22 Hornet 3 Die Set is a complete rifle reloading die set purpose-built for the small but potent 22 Hornet cartridge. Whether you're handloading for a vintage varmint rifle or fine-tuning match rounds for precision shooting, this three-die set gives you everything needed to resize, neck-size, and seat bullets with the consistency that Redding is known for. If you're serious about ammunition quality and cartridge precision, a matched die set like this one pays dividends in accuracy and case longevity.

Redding manufactures these dies from premium alloy steels and machines them to exacting tolerances using Hardinge Super-Precision lathes—the gold standard in the reloading world. Each die is heat-treated in controlled atmospheres and hand-polished to ensure smooth operation and dependable performance through thousands of reloading cycles. That attention to detail means your 22 Hornet rounds will chamber properly in any standard SAAMI-compliant rifle, and the dies themselves will hold their specs for a lifetime of use.

The set arrives in a sturdy die box and includes a spare decapping pin, hex wrench, and dedicated storage for a shellholder (sold separately), so you're ready to start once you have your other components. Every die is ultrasonically cleaned and inspected before it ships—there's no guesswork about quality here. For handloaders who demand precision and reliability in a rifle cartridge as specific as the 22 Hornet, this is the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a shellholder to use this die set?

Yes. A shellholder (sold separately) is required to hold your case during the resizing and seating process. The die box includes a dedicated compartment to store your shellholder once you have one.

What's the difference between the full-length sizing die and the neck sizing die?

The full-length sizing die resizes the entire case, which is standard practice for most reloading. The included neck sizing die allows you to resize only the neck of the case if you prefer—many precision shooters use neck sizing for improved concentricity and consistency in match ammunition.

Will ammunition loaded with this die set fit in my 22 Hornet rifle?

Yes. These dies are guaranteed to produce ammunition that properly fits any standard SAAMI-compliant 22 Hornet chamber.

How long will these dies last?

Redding dies are built and finished to maintain their tolerances indefinitely with proper use. These are a one-time investment in reloading equipment.
