If you're deep into reloading rifle ammo and tired of fighting with standard steel sizing buttons, the Redding Carbide Neck Sizing Button Kit for 25 caliber is a smart upgrade. This kit swaps the steel button in your Redding Standard or Type S die for a carbide alternative, transforming neck sizing from a tedious, lubrication-dependent chore into a genuinely smooth operation. The carbide material slides through case necks with minimal friction, letting you resize brass faster and cleaner without reaching for lube every few rounds.
The engineering here is straightforward and clever: the carbide button floats freely on the decapping rod and self-centers itself as it moves through the case neck. That means you're not fighting misalignment or binding, and you get consistent results shot after shot. Whether you're working up loads for a 25-06 Remington or another 25-caliber bottleneck round, this kit gives your die a significant quality-of-life improvement.
The kit ships complete—carbide button, retainer, and a spare decapping pin—so you can get started immediately. Just note that it's designed specifically for Redding Standard and Type S neck and full length dies, and the decapping rod itself isn't included. If you're running Redding dies and your reloading bench has seen better days, this is one of those modest upgrades that actually pays dividends in speed and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this carbide neck sizing button fit my Redding die?
Yes, if you're using a Redding Standard or Type S neck or full length die. The kit is designed to upgrade those specific die types. It will not work with dies from other manufacturers or other Redding models.
Do I need to use lubrication with the carbide button?
No. One of the main advantages of the carbide button is that it sizes case necks smoothly without any lubrication required, which speeds up your reloading process and keeps your brass cleaner.

The kit includes the carbide sizing button, a retainer, and a spare decapping pin. The decapping rod is not included—you'll use the existing rod in your Redding die.
What calibers does this button work with?
This kit is specifically sized for 25-caliber bottleneck cartridges. Redding makes carbide button kits for other calibers in the 22 through 30-caliber range, so make sure you're ordering the 25 Cal version for your rounds.
