Recommended Dies for a 6.5 Creedmoor

[ditter]

Had the Redding Match Die. Now have the Whidden Adjustable. Top notch.

I was afraid of that, lol! But right now, I'm at base zero...straight-up vertical learning curve.

Cheap - RCBS ALL THE WAY!!! they are great dies with a nice robust finish of some sort
Good competetive Dies Redding/Forster They're about equal with a small lean to Forster
Expensive cool, bragging rights - Whidden, Neil Jones, Cortina etc
Neil Jones is about as expensive as I go for a die when a Redding/ Forster does everything I expect it to
BUT
I am looking at Hornady bushing dies for the price
I havent tried them yet but I love their eliptical expanders
------------
I mean when my guns shoot like this with Redding Comp dies??
I just don't see the need to step it up in my die selection

Hi, I am just getting set up to start reloading for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm looking for suggestions on which dies and which manufacturer's dies to get.

Forster has always been my preference (for my 6.5 Grendel).

I assume most of the dies out there are pretty good but wanted to get some suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

This is what I would buy.

I use Hornady dies but with a custom chambered sleeve and seating stem in the seater. The sizer works fine, the re-worked seater is perfect. WH

I have redding and hornady and they worked fine but last year switched to a SAC modular. So consistent. Yes expensive but it decaps, FL sizes and bushing neck tensions in one step, and is easy to adjust. I find it more accurate and consistent than my other dies.

Lee collet
Redding body die
Forster seaters

That’s my favorite set when I can get them for a cartridge.

I've tried them all and spent a lot of money you will not beat the above combination for any cartridge they are available for.
