Redding 6.5X55Mm Swede Bushing Full Length Die Set

The Redding 6.5x55 Swede bushing full length die set gives handloaders the precision tools needed to consistently resize and seat ammunition for one of the classic European rifle cartridges. Built around Redding's Type S Match Bushing system, this two-die set lets you control neck tension with interchangeable bushings—a huge advantage when you're working up loads that demand tight concentricity and uniform bullet seating. Whether you're loading for a vintage Mauser, a sporterized military rifle, or a modern 6.5x55 build, this die set puts the fine-tuning in your hands.

The Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die handles full-length resizing while letting you dial in exactly how much neck tension you want. Swapping bushings takes seconds and costs far less than buying multiple fixed-neck die sets, so you can experiment and optimize without breaking the bank. This is the approach serious reloaders choose when consistency matters—competition shooters, long-range hunters, and folks who simply refuse to settle for mediocre ammunition.

The Competition Bullet Seating Die is where precision really shines. A micrometer calibrated in .001" increments lets you dial in seating depth to the exact tenth of a thousandth, and the floating seating stem does the heavy lifting to keep bullets running concentric in the case. That translates to better concentricity, more uniform bullet jump, and tighter groups downrange. If you're reloading for accuracy rather than just plinking, this die set is built to reward careful technique.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Type S bushing die and a standard sizing die?

The Type S Match Bushing system uses interchangeable bushings to control how much the case neck gets sized. This lets you fine-tune neck tension without needing multiple die sets, and gives you the precision control that competition and accuracy-focused reloaders demand.

Does this die set come with bushings?

The die set includes the Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die and Competition Bullet Seating Die. Interchangeable bushings are sold separately, allowing you to choose the specific sizing you need for your ammunition.

Can I use this for hunting or competition reloading?

Yes. The floating seating stem and micrometer-adjusted seating die are designed to produce the kind of precision ammunition that works well for both long-range hunting and competition shooting, where concentricity and consistent bullet seating directly affect accuracy.

Is this a two-die or three-die set?

This is a two-die set: a Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die and a Competition Bullet Seating Die. You'll still need a separate tool to deprime and decap cases, as those operations are typically handled outside the main die set.
