Is this Redding 28261 die set compatible with other 6.5mm cartridges like 6.5 PRC or 6.5 Creedmoor?

No, this die set is strictly engineered for .26 Nosler brass only. It will not properly size or seat other 6.5mm/.264 cartridges such as 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, or .264 Win Mag.

Does the Redding Master Hunter Die Set include a shellholder for my reloading press?

No shellholder is included in the box. You will need to use a Redding Shellholder #6, which is sold separately and matches the .264 calibre base dimensions.

Will this die set apply a crimp to my .26 Nosler hunting rounds?

No, the included Competition Seating Die does not apply a crimp. If you require a crimp for your hunting loads, you will need to purchase a separate external crimp die.

Will these dies fit standard reloading presses commonly used in Australia?

Yes, the dies feature standard 7/8"-14 threads, making them fully compatible with standard single-stage and progressive reloading presses from brands like Redding, RCBS, and Hornady commonly found on Australian benches.

Do I need any special internal lubrication when using the full-length sizing die?

Yes, case lubrication is required on the exterior of the brass during full-length sizing to prevent stuck cases in your press. However, the built-in carbide expander button makes resizing the case neck exceptionally smooth without needing extra inside-neck lube.

.26 Nosler Die Set - Redding 28261

The Redding Master Hunter Die Set for .26 Nosler (Part Number 28261) is a precision 2-die reloading set engineered to produce field-reliable, match-accurate hunting ammunition. It pairs a Full-Length Sizing Die featuring a carbide expander button with a micrometer-adjustable Competition Seating Die. This configuration restores fired cases to SAAMI-standard dimensions to prevent chambering or feeding issues during critical field shots, while guiding both the .264-inch bullet and case neck in an internal sleeve to minimise runout and maximise straight-line concentricity.

Key Features

Full-Length Sizing Die: Restores fired brass to factory SAAMI external dimensions to guarantee smooth chambering and extraction in bolt-action hunting rifles.
Carbide Expander Button: Reduces friction and drag inside the case neck during extraction, minimising brass stretching without requiring heavy internal neck lubrication.
Competition Seating Die: Features a built-in micrometer for precise bullet seating depth adjustments and an internal alignment sleeve that supports the case and projectile for superior concentricity.
Industry-Standard Interface: Built with standard 7/8"-14 threading for seamless installation on conventional single-stage and progressive reloading presses.
Included Accessories: Supplied in a dedicated plastic storage box complete with a hex wrench for die adjustments.

Who is the Redding Master Hunter Die Set for .26 Nosler for?

Long-Range Big Game Hunters — Handloaders building high-velocity .26 Nosler ammunition benefit from the combination of a full-length sizing die that ensures reliable field cycling and a micrometer-adjustable seating die operating on standard 7/8"-14 threaded presses for precise bullet concentricity.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to resize or seat other 6.5mm cartridges like 6.5 PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, or .264 Winchester Magnum; a dedicated calibre-specific die set matching those exact case dimensions is required instead.
