The Redding Type S Elite Die Set for 6.5 Creedmoor gives precision reloaders the tools to produce match-grade ammunition with exacting control over neck sizing and bullet seating. This three-die set combines Redding's proven Type S bushing system with a dedicated competition seating die—a combination that's become the standard for shooters who demand consistency from round to round. Whether you're loading for long-range hunting, competition, or precision rifle work, the Type S Elite delivers the adjustability and accuracy control that separates quality handloads from ordinary ones.
At the heart of this set is Redding's interchangeable bushing technology, which lets you fine-tune neck tension in 0.001" increments. The free-floating bushings self-center on the case neck for repeatable sizing accuracy without overworking brass—a real advantage if you're planning to reload cases multiple times. Both the full-sizing die and neck-sizing die accept these bushings, and Redding offers them in hardened steel or with a TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating for reduced friction and easier operation. That level of control is what precision handloaders are after: the ability to dial in exactly the neck tension your rifle prefers, not what a fixed die allows.
The included competition seating die is engineered for bullet runout concentricity, helping ensure your rounds chamber with minimal runout. Combined with the Type S sizing dies, you've got a complete system for producing ammunition that shoots as consistent as your skills allow.
| Cartridge | 6.5 Creedmoor |
| Die Type | Type S Elite Set |
| Included Components | Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die, Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, Competition Seating Die |
| Bushing Adjustment Increment | 0.001" |
| Bushing Material Options | Hardened steel (included); TIN-coated available |
The full-sizing die resizes the entire case—neck, shoulder, and body—and is typically used during initial sizing or when switching between rifles. The neck-sizing die resizes only the neck to hold bullet tension. Many precision reloaders alternate between them: full-size every few loadings to extend case life, and neck-size in between to preserve case dimensions and consistency. Both use the same interchangeable bushing system.
Yes. Both the full-sizing and neck-sizing dies accept Redding's interchangeable bushings, which control neck diameter and therefore the tension the neck exerts on the bullet. You adjust tension by switching to a different bushing size; each 0.001" change in bushing diameter equals a corresponding change in neck tension. This gives you precise, repeatable control without excessive die adjustment.
The set includes hardened steel bushings. TIN (Titanium Nitride) coated bushings are available separately and offer reduced friction for smoother operation, but hardened steel bushings work reliably for most reloaders. Choose TIN if you prefer easier lever pull or plan to reload high volumes.
The Type S Elite set is built for precision work—competition shooting, long-range hunting, or any application where consistency and runout concentricity matter. The competition seating die and precise bushing control make it ideal for both, though it's equally at home in the competition lab or the hunting prep bench.
