Redding, or Forster with bushings. Wilson possibly, but I have no 1st hand knowledge, except the discrete seater/ arbour press.

Is it a 6.5 x 284 Winchester or a 6.5 x 284 Norma it makes a difference

Norma

Norma

That’s my favorite rifle my 65x284 Norma I also prefer my Redding dies unless you’re going to go with some custom dies

I’m using a Whidden full length bushing die and a Forster BR Seater die with no complaints. I don’t shoot it a lot, but it’s one of my most accurate rifles in spite of what the bore scope tells me.

Wound up with Reddding neck and FL bushing dies. Norma. Obviously if you are of the FL sizing only then one die would fill your needs.

Hey, 338 dude and Mark W, don't you guys know, building on a Rem 700 is stupid and a big fat waste of money?! You're, ONLY, supposed to build on custom actions. Duh!

By the way, nice looking setups fellas. The 6.5-284 is one of my all time favorites too.

I wanna play.
@WSMNUT spun this up for me, took it out for the 1st time today.
Rem700 trued, 27" Brux rem varmint contour 6.5-284 Norma
I planned on painting before shooting this, but like a kid at Christmas I had to take a peek.
If you want a quick turn around call Zack!
If you want accuracy definitely call Zack!
He built 2 rifles for me and shipped back in a month.

Got my zero @48gr h4350 WLRPM 136scenar L's.
Shots 5,6,7 close enough to zero.
Ran a chronograph report on shots 8-12
Av MV 2980 with magneto speed.
Shots 13-30 looking for charge weight to begin seating depth test. Probably going to load 49.2gr here.
Shot @200 yards due to a match on upper range.

I'll be playing with the creedmoor next but I'm definitely painting it 1st while I fine tune this rifle. Then I'm tearing it down for some apple red candy paint.
Edited to add, Redding FL die with standard seater micrometer top added.
Wilson FL bushing die ordered
