The Redding Master Hunter Deluxe 3-Die Set for 6.5 Creedmoor (Model 29446) is a precision reloading toolset designed to produce match-accurate and field-reliable ammunition. Engineered for standard 6.5 Creedmoor cases using .264-inch (6.5mm) diameter projectiles, this set pairs hunting-grade full-length and neck sizing capabilities with Redding's Competition Bullet Seating Die. It mounts to standard reloading presses via industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads and weighs approximately 0.68–0.80 kg.

Key Features

• Three-Die Configuration: Includes a Full-Length Sizing Die, a standard Neck Sizing Die, and a Competition Bullet Seating Die.
• Free-Floating Carbide Size Button: Located in the full-length sizing die to reduce neck friction and drag during case extraction, minimizing brass stretch without requiring inside-neck lubrication.
• Micrometer Bullet Seating: The Competition Seating Die features a micrometer head calibrated in precise 0.001-inch increments, utilizing an internal sliding alignment sleeve to hold the bullet and case in concentric alignment before seating.
• Dual Sizing Versatility: Allows handloaders to neck-size fire-formed cases to maximize brass longevity for range use, or full-length size brass for guaranteed feeding and extraction in field hunting scenarios.

Who is the Redding Master Hunter Deluxe Die Set for 6.5 Creedmoor for?

• Precision long-range target shooters — provides exact cartridge overall length (COAL) control via a Competition Seating Die adjustable in 0.001-inch increments, ensuring concentric projectile alignment for 6.5 Creedmoor match loads.
• Medium-game and deer hunters — utilizes a full-length sizing die with a 7/8"-14 thread interface to ensure reliable chambering, cycling, and extraction of 6.5 Creedmoor hunting ammunition under adverse field conditions.
• Bolt-action handloaders developing custom ammunition — includes a dedicated non-bushing neck sizing die alongside a full-length sizer for standard 7/8"-14 thread presses, allowing reloaders to extend the working life of fire-formed brass fired from the same rifle.

Less suitable for: Handloaders requiring custom neck tension or incremental step-down sizing, who should use a bushing-style sizing die (such as a Type S-Bushing or Competition Bushing die) instead of these fixed-dimension dies; and semi-automatic rifles such as AR-10 platforms, which require a small base sizing die rather than a standard full-length die to avoid cycling stoppages.
