Redding 270 Caliber Carbide Sizing Button
The Redding 270 Carbide Sizing Button is a drop-in upgrade for reloaders using Redding Standard and Type S dies who want smoother, faster neck sizing without the mess of case lube. Carbide sizing buttons eliminate friction during the sizing stroke, letting you process brass more efficiently and with less prep work between rounds. If you're stepping up your 270 Winchester or other bottleneck reloading routine, this button transforms the feel and pace of your sizing operations.
The button floats freely on the decapping rod, which means it self-centers as it enters each case neck. This geometry reduces binding and delivers consistent results shot after shot. The kit supplies everything you need to get started: the carbide button itself, a retainer to hold it in place, and a spare decapping pin for when your original eventually wears. (You'll need your existing decapping rod; the button doesn't include one.)
This upgrade is designed specifically for Redding Standard and Type S neck and full-length sizing dies in bottleneck calibers from .22 through .30—so it's a natural fit for 270 Winchester, 308, and similar cartridges. Don't install it on other manufacturers' dies or progressive press tooling; stick with Redding dies for reliable function and safety. Once you've felt the difference a carbide button makes, you'll wonder how you ever went back to steel.
