prairiefire Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Any 6.5 Creed loaders here? Which dies do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegunnerd Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'm not loading 6.5 for precision YET but i always default to the Redding compeition die set with the bushing neck die . body die, and competition seating die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotdown Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I reload 6.5 for Bolt action rifles and I always purchase Redding Dies. I'm using the Type-S dies. Edited February 26, 2014 by shotdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hornady dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I use Hornady dies, I added the micrometer top to the seating die, I normally always buy and recommend Redding Type S FL die and the Redding Competition seater, but the 35 dollar Hornady set works beautifully, concentricity is great, and I'm shooting ragged hole groups at 100/200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

427Cobra Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The cheapo dies shocked me at first, but since Hornady makes the brass, the dies are tailored made for there brass, I did polish the expander ball, and I don't jerk it out, but gently let is rest at the shoulder junction before pulling it out, the seating die is not perfect, I seat a little, rotate, seat a little more, rotate, and so on, on a Redding Comp Seater the case is supported in the sliding sleeve, on the Hornadee only the shoulder is supported, the micrometer add on, the numbers are hard to read, with it on the die will not work in my Forster Co-Ax B3, so I use my RCBS Partner press for seating duties.

shootsforfun Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I use hornady dies and runout is good I did not find the need to spend over 150 on dies when I get good results with hornady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
