Competition Bushing Neck Die Set 6.5 X 47 Lapua

The Redding Competition Bushing Neck Die Set for 6.5 x 47 Lapua delivers precision neck sizing and bullet seating for serious long-range and match reloaders. This three-die set—consisting of a competition bushing neck sizing die, body die, and competition bullet seater—is engineered for the exacting tolerances that separate good handloads from match-winning ones. If you're pushing the limits of 6.5 x 47 Lapua accuracy, this is the die set built to keep your brass and bullets aligned to spec.

The neck sizing die is where the competition advantage shows. Unlike full-length sizing, the bushing-neck approach completely supports and aligns the case before sizing begins. As the case moves upward, it stays cradled in a tightly chambered sliding sleeve while the sizing bushing self-centers on the neck—keeping everything in precise alignment much like a firing pin guides concentricity. The micrometer adjustment lets you dial in exactly how much neck material gets sized, giving you repeatable control over neck tension from round to round.

The included body die handles full-length resizing and shoulder bump without touching the neck you've just tuned. The competition bullet seater uses a floating stem system with tolerances tight enough that the stem actually floats within the guide—a design that minimizes runout and centers bullets consistently. Both the neck die and seater feature micrometer adjustments for fine-tuning.

Bushings and shellholder are sold separately, so you'll need to source those to complete your setup. This is a serious die set for reloaders who understand that match accuracy starts at the press.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in this die set?

The set includes three dies: a competition bushing neck sizing die with micrometer adjustment, a body die for full-length case body resizing and shoulder bump, and a competition bullet seater with micrometer adjustment and floating stem. Bushings and shellholder are not included and must be purchased separately.

How is this different from a standard full-length die set?

The competition bushing neck die sizes only the neck while keeping it under complete support and alignment throughout the stroke. The sizing bushing self-centers on the neck and is micrometer-adjustable, letting you control exactly how much neck material gets worked. This approach preserves case shoulder geometry and lets you dial in neck tension, while the separate body die handles shoulder bump independently.

Do I need to buy bushings separately?

Yes. Bushings for the neck sizing die are sold separately, as is the shellholder. You'll need to select the correct bushing size based on your loaded round diameter and the shellholder for your press.

What kind of reloader is this die set for?

This is a set for match and long-range reloaders who are serious about consistency. The micrometer adjustments, floating seating stem, and precision bushing neck sizing are designed for shooters chasing the tightest groups and most reliable velocities, particularly in precision rifle competition and demanding hunting applications.
