Dies for 25 creed?

[dk17hmr]

I recently acquired a 6 creedmoor and haven't bought dies yet.... that said I'm a big 25 cal fan and am thinking in the not to distant future will probably have a 25 creed barrel cut for the new heavies/high bc bullets come out.

The question is with the proper bushing can I use Redding Full Length bushing 6 creed dies for 25 creed?

It depends on the die company and how much clearance there is up in the die right before the brass goes in to the bushing. I'd use 6.5 CM bushing die for sizing and you'd be covered for everything 6.5 CM and smaller.

Wait, are you saying there's more 25 caliber bullets coming out??

Between Blackjack, Hammer, and Patriot Valley there is several available and likely more to come.

I shot the new 117gr from PVA this weekend from my 25-06AI and have decided I need a properly twisted 25 for these new high BC solids

For those that might be interested Hornady 6mm Creed match grade bushing dies are too small in the neck.

I think you'll find that to be the problem with all 6mm CM bushing dies which is why I suggested using 6.5 CM bushing dies in my post up above.

With a 6.5 CM bushing die you'll be good to go using if for a 22CM, 6CM, 25CM, and 6.5CM using the appropriate size bushing for each.

Yep I was expecting not to be able to use the 6mm dies but I got a deal on them so not the end of the world.
