Redding full size busing die question

[Savagehunter]

I started reloading 4 years ago when I got a 6.5x284. I tried to get the best equipment I could afford. I bought redding full size bushing die and micrometer seating die type s match no. 36415. The ammo shoots sub moa when I do my part. My question is that these dies say 6.5x284 winchester. I know that there is a difference between that and the norma standard. Should I replace these dies with the 6.5x284 norma type s match dies? Will it make a difference especially in case life? I am on 3x fired brass now. Any info on the difference or lack of in the dies would be appreciated thank you.

I suspect this is just a "naming" issue, since the .284 Winchester is the parent case

Seems there are a few slight differences, but your dies should be good to go - the "major" difference is in seating depth. Wildcats - always interesting...

I went through the exact same dilemma and got the proper dies for 6.5x284 Norma on target I didn’t really notice much of a difference at all but there are differences I still believe with all the little technical details to the sport that we enjoy of course you must have the proper equipment

If there were no differences why would they make two different sets

All the new 284 brass and it's siblings are thicker at the base than the old Winchester brass by about .002.. None of the newer brass will chamber in my old 284 XP-100, and the old dies will not FL size the new brass.... Even my small base 284 Redding die won't size the new brass enough...
With the correct die's and brass, all is good.......

The fact that there are two different die sets is what got me wondering how much if a difference there was.

What’s the accuracy capacity of this cartridge? How close are you to reaching it?

If you want to know what your die is doing to the body dimensions of your fired brass, measure two diameters before and after sizing, .200 up from the head, and the shoulder.

SAAMI has the Norma listed. Compare measurements.

Email Redding and ask.

Maybe they make one set with two labels
