Redding Premium Series Full Length 2-Die Set .260 Rem

The Redding Premium Series Full Length 2-Die Set for .260 Rem delivers the precision upgrades serious handloaders have been asking for. This two-die set combines a carbide size button in the full length sizing die with a bullet seating micrometer on the seating die—two features that dramatically improve your reloading consistency and repeatability. If you're loading match-grade ammunition for precision rifle work or hunting, these upgrades transform your workflow from competent to competitive.

Built on Redding's proven Series A platform, the Premium Series represents the company's response to customer demand for higher-end tooling without buying separate components or proprietary systems. The carbide size button in the FL sizing die reduces sizing friction and extends die life compared to standard steel buttons, which matters when you're processing hundreds of brass cases per season. The bullet seating micrometer gives you dial-in control over seating depth in 0.001" increments—critical for building loads that shoot true, especially in precision rifle or competition applications.

.260 Remington is a smart choice for long-range hunters and precision shooters who want flat trajectory and low recoil without the complexity of magnum cartridges. This die set handles the moderate case dimensions and rebated rim of the .260 with the precision you'd expect from Redding's premium line. Whether you're loading for a match-grade bolt action, a precision trainer, or a hunting rifle where every round counts, the micrometer seating die ensures bullet jump consistency from load to load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies are included in this two-die set?

The set contains a full length sizing die with carbide size button and a bullet seating die equipped with a bullet seating micrometer. You'll handle brass sizing and bullet seating with these two dies; deprime/repriming and case prep steps are handled separately or with supplemental tools.

What is a bullet seating micrometer and why does it matter?

The bullet seating micrometer is a precision dial on the seating die that lets you adjust bullet seating depth in 0.001" increments. This level of control ensures consistent bullet jump and cartridge overall length from round to round, which directly improves accuracy and load repeatability—especially important for precision rifle, competition, or hunting loads where tight tolerances pay off.

What's the advantage of the carbide size button?

Carbide is harder and smoother than standard steel, so it generates less friction during the sizing stroke. This reduces heat, extends die life, and makes the sizing process smoother and more consistent over thousands of rounds. It's a worthwhile upgrade if you're loading frequently or processing large quantities of brass.

Can I use this die set for both hunting and competition reloading?

Yes. The precision features—carbide button and micrometer seating—benefit any reloading application where consistency matters, from precision rifle matches to hunting loads where you want sub-MOA accuracy from your rifle.
