Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for Bottleneck Cases 6.5x55 Swedish

The Redding Series A Full Length Die Set for Bottleneck Cases in 6.5x55 Swedish is built for reloaders who demand precision and longevity. This two-die set handles the complete resizing and seating process, delivering the cartridge-to-chamber fit that keeps your ammunition reliable across any standard SAAMI chamber, whether you're working with a classic Mauser action or a modern bolt gun. Redding's reputation for manufacturing excellence means every die in this set is engineered to exacting tolerances and backed by a lifetime of use.

What separates Redding dies from commodity reloading equipment starts in the shop. Each die is machined on Hardinge Super-Precision lathes capable of holding some of the tightest tolerances in the industry—a difference you'll feel the moment you run a case through the die. The alloy steels used are among the finest available, heat-treated in atmospherically controlled furnaces to guarantee dimensional stability and durability across thousands of reload cycles. Hand polishing and ultrasonic cleaning ensure smooth, flawless functioning and a professional finish.

The full length resizing die includes a decapping rod assembly with a neck expander, stripping out the old primer and sizing the case neck to specification. The seating die features a built-in crimp ring and proper seating plug, plus a bullet guide to keep bullet seating consistent and square. Both dies thread onto standard 7/8-14 bodies, so they integrate seamlessly into any press setup you already own. The included die box doubles as a cartridge loading block and storage solution—a small touch that shows Redding understands the reloader's bench. You also get a spare decapping pin, hex wrench, and a dedicated space for your shellholder.

If you're reloading 6.5x55 Swedish for hunting, match work, or just to understand your ammunition from the ground up, this die set is the foundation of consistent, dependable loads.
