Redding Type S Elite Die Set 6.5X47Mm Lapua

The Redding Type S Elite Die Set for 6.5x47 Lapua gives precision reloaders the tools to produce match-grade ammunition with repeatable neck tension and sizing control. This three-die set includes a Type S bushing full sizing die, Type S bushing neck sizing die, and Redding's Competition Seating Die—a combination designed for shooters who demand consistency from their handloads, whether you're preparing rounds for competition, long-range hunting, or rigorous load development.

The heart of the Type S system is the interchangeable bushing design. Each bushing controls case neck diameter and tension in 0.001" increments, giving you granular adjustment without guessing or trial-and-error sizing. The bushings are free-floating, meaning they self-center on the case neck for uniform sizing accuracy shot after shot. This approach eliminates the common problem of over-working brass during the sizing stroke—critical when you're trying to maximize case life and maintain tight velocity nodes.

Redding offers bushings in standard hardened steel and optional TIN (Titanium Nitride) coated versions for reduced friction and extended die life. The Competition Seating Die rounds out the set with the precision bullet seating that serious handloaders expect from Redding. Built for 6.5x47 Lapua specifically, this set is ideal for precision rifle competitors, load developers, and hunters working with this efficient cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What dies are included in the Redding Type S Elite set for 6.5x47 Lapua?

The set includes a Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die, a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, and a Redding Competition Seating Die. All three are caliber-specific for 6.5x47 Lapua.

How does the interchangeable bushing system work?

The Type S dies use removable bushings to control case neck diameter and tension. Bushings are available in different sizes and adjust neck tension in 0.001" increments. The bushings are free-floating, meaning they self-center on the case neck for consistent sizing without requiring manual alignment.

Can I use TIN-coated bushings instead of standard steel?

Yes. Redding offers both hardened steel and TIN (Titanium Nitride) coated bushing options. The TIN coating provides greater lubricity and is designed for extended die life and reduced friction during the sizing process.

Is this die set suitable for precision rifle competition?

Yes. The Type S Elite set is engineered for handloaders who require tight consistency and control over neck tension. The included Competition Seating Die and bushing system make it well-suited for precision rifle and competition ammunition preparation.
