Redding Competition Bushing Neck Die 6.5Mm Cm

The Redding Competition Bushing Neck Die for 6.5mm Creedmoor is purpose-built for serious reloaders who demand consistency and control over every thousandth of an inch. If you're a competition shooter or precision handloader who's already invested in preparing your brass to exacting standards, this die lets you size only the neck without a sizing button—giving you the repeatability that matches your meticulous case prep work.

What makes this die stand out is its engineering: the cartridge case sits completely supported and aligned before sizing even begins, then remains cradled in a tightly chambered sliding sleeve as it moves upward. The resizing bushing self-centers on the case neck as the process starts, eliminating the variables that creep into less rigid designs. The decapping rod stays in precise alignment using internal die geometry as a linear support—think of it working like a firing pin would—so you get clean, consistent primer pocket control shot after shot.

The micrometer adjustment lets you fine-tune exactly how much neck length gets sized, which is critical when you're working up loads at the ragged edge of accuracy. No guesswork, no vague feel—just dial in your dimension and trust it. This is the tool for the handloader who refuses to compromise on consistency.

Keep in mind that bushings and shellholders are sold separately, so you'll need to source those to get up and running. A carbide sizing button kit is also available if your process ever calls for it, though the bushing-only design is the draw here for competitive reloaders.
