Have you tried contacting Redding to see if they can help? I bent a decap rod on my 223 RCBS die set awhile ago and I sent them an email asking about it and they sent me a replacement and several extra sizing buttons, no charge. Plus that way you know you are getting the right decap assembly for your die set.

When I called Redding to get a replacement 300/221 decapping rod I mentioned they might send me a 221 Fireball one and they said they would send a 300/221 rod. The part numbers are not the same for the two rods. Whether they are the same or not I don't know but call Redding and they will fix you up.

THEY ARE CLOSED FOR MANDITORY VACATION TILL THE 17th, Oops, Sorry about the loud tone, But I want to be reloading by tuesday or wensday.

I'm guessing you will need the 300/221 decap rod so that you can have the correct length, but you are going to want the 30 cal sizing button. If you used the 221 decap rod it would have a 22 cal sizing button and it wouldn't even touch the neck of your case.

That sucks that they are closed for so long. I hate having reloading down time because of dies when you are otherwise ready to go.
