6.5 Creedmoor Dies

[stroked96s10]

A co worker will be buying a 6.5 Creedmoor soon. He wants to load for it, with my help, but I'm not sure which dies to suggest to him. I found the wilson seater die like I use on several of my cartridges but not sure which sizing die to go with. I use forster bump dies for the most part but they don't have one for a creedmoor that I see.
So what would be a good sizing die to use? The bushing neck dies I see either don't bump the shoulder and/or full length as well. I looked around the site a little before posting but didn't see much unless I missed it or misread.

I have a friend that wanted to get into reloading for a Creedmoor about 3 years ago and has now told me he is not going to do it. He has a Redding type S Full Length Match die set #36446 he will be selling at a good discount....never used. May or may not be for your friend but wanted to mention it if he might be interested

I'll keep it in mind and see what route my buddy wants to go, thank you.

I currently use a Redding FL/neck bushing die but will change to a custom once it is completed. The Redding FL/neck bushing is a very good die to start with.

My current set up is Lee Collet Die to neck size. The original Hornady Seating die, and a Redding shoulder and body die every 3rd reload. This gives me outstanding case life and runout. It does however result in several unused dies lying about.

I'm all for case life. So not bumping the shoulder at all for those 2 fire don't cause any chamber ing issues?

What did it die of?

Sorry, couldn't help myself!

I use a similar setup, except a Redding Competition Seater and I body size/shoulder bump every time. I do it not for chambering ease (although that's nice), but to keep everything more consistent loading to loading.

I prefer the Lee Collet to the Redding S for 6.5 Creedmoor. The Hornady brass doesn't have terribly consistent necks, and the chambers are almost always no-turn. If not turning the necks, the Lee die will produce more concentricity than the Redding die, which works from the outside and relies on a uniform neck thickness to make the inside concentric.
