Redding Carbide Neck Sizing Button Kit .243/6mm

The Redding Carbide Neck Sizing Button Kit .243/6mm (Redding part no. 48242) upgrades an existing die set with a free-floating carbide button sized for .243/6mm bottleneck cases. Because the button self-centers in the case neck and glides through without needing case lube inside the neck, it smooths out and evens up the inside neck sizing stroke. The kit includes the carbide button, a retainer, and a spare decapping pin. It’s a good fit for handloaders who want to upgrade an existing sizing die’s expander for smoother, more consistent neck tension.
