Description
The Redding .270 Caliber Carbide Sizing Button (part no. 49276) is the expander button that rides on a sizing die’s decapping rod, opening a resized .270 Caliber case neck to the correct inside diameter for bullet seating. Made by Redding from carbide, it resists galling and glides through the case neck smoothly enough that most handloaders skip internal neck lube entirely, unlike a standard steel expander ball. It’s sold as a replacement or upgrade button for an existing sizing die.
Key Specifications
- Sized for .270 Caliber case necks.
- Machined from carbide, which resists galling and reduces the need for internal neck lube.
- Fits onto a sizing die’s decapping rod as a replacement or upgrade expander button.
