Redding Type S Elite Die Set 6.5 Prc
The Redding Type S Elite Die Set for 6.5 PRC delivers the precision control serious reloaders demand. Built on direct feedback from the handloading community, this three-die set combines Redding's proven Type S bushing sizing technology with a competition-grade seating die—giving you the tools to produce match-grade ammunition with repeatable consistency. Whether you're developing loads for long-range hunting, precision rifle competitions, or fine-tuning your 6.5 PRC handloads, this set puts control firmly in your hands.
The two Type S sizing dies use interchangeable bushings to manage neck diameter and tension in 0.001" increments, letting you dial in the exact fit your brass and bullets demand without over-working the case neck. The bushings are free-floating, allowing them to self-center on the case for superior sizing accuracy run to run. Redding offers these bushings in hardened steel, as well as with a TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating for reduced friction and easier operation. This level of control is what separates a die set built for serious reloaders from one that's merely adequate.
The included competition seating die rounds out the package with the same attention to detail, ensuring bullet seating depth is consistent and repeatable. For handloaders who refuse to settle for average ammunition, the Type S Elite set is a logical choice—it's the platform that lets your technique and attention shine through in every loaded round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Type S bushing system do?
The Type S bushings control both the neck diameter and the tension on your bullet in 0.001" increments. Because they're interchangeable and free-floating, they self-center on the case neck, giving you superior sizing accuracy and allowing you to fine-tune neck tension without fear of working the brass too hard.
Should I choose hardened steel or TIN-coated bushings?
Both options are available. TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating provides greater lubricity and easier operation, while hardened steel bushings offer a traditional option. Your choice depends on your preference for friction reduction and handling feel.
Is this die set suitable for competition reloading?
Yes. The inclusion of a competition seating die and the precision bushing system make this set well-suited for handloaders preparing ammunition for precision rifle competitions or anyone seeking the highest level of consistency in their loads.
