Redding 6.5Mm Grendel Bushing Full Length Die Set
The Redding 6.5mm Grendel bushing full length die set is built for reloaders who demand precision neck control and repeatable results with this popular intermediate cartridge. This two-die set pairs a Type S bushing full sizing die with a competition seating die, giving you the tools to resize fired cases and seat bullets with the exact specifications your loads require. Whether you're loading for a modern sporting rifle or a precision build, the interchangeable bushing system puts you in command of case neck tension and sizing—critical factors for consistent velocity and accuracy downrange.
The Type S bushing full sizing die is the heart of this set. It performs a complete full length resize while the bushing approach lets you dial in your preferred neck fit without overworking the case. By swapping bushings to match your needs, you avoid the one-size-fits-all compromise of standard dies and can fine-tune for your specific chamber and bullet diameter. This level of control is especially valuable when you're working up loads or running a tight group at distance.
The competition seating die completes the package with serious attention to concentricity. A floating seating stem system works to keep bullets aligned as they enter the case, reducing runout that degrades accuracy. The micrometer is calibrated in .001" increments, so you can return to the exact same seating depth shot after shot. This die is designed to support the kind of consistency that competitive shooters and precision handloaders expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dies are included in this set?
The set includes a Type S bushing full sizing die and a competition seating die. The sizing die handles full length resizing with bushing control, and the seating die delivers precision bullet seating with a floating stem and micrometer adjustment.
Can I adjust neck tension with this die set?
Yes. The Type S bushing full sizing die uses interchangeable bushings, allowing you to customize how much the case neck is sized and control your preferred neck tension without changing dies.
What is the floating seating stem and why does it matter?
The floating stem system in the competition seating die allows the bullet to align naturally as it's seated, which helps reduce runout (bullet tilt) in the finished round. Lower runout generally improves accuracy, especially at distance.
Is this die set suitable for precision or competitive reloading?
Yes. The micrometer seating die with .001" calibration and the bushing-adjustable sizing die are both designed to support the consistency and control that precision shooters and competitive loaders require.
