What dies are included in the Redding 60446 Elite Bushing Die Set?

The Redding 60446 set includes three precision dies: a Type S Bushing Full Length Sizing Die (Part #77446), a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Part #71446), and a Competition Bullet Seating Die (Part #55446). This combination allows you to control neck tension precisely while minimizing concentricity runout for your 6.5 Creedmoor handloads.

Are neck sizing bushings and shellholders included with this die set?

No, neck bushings and shellholders are sold separately. The die set accommodates standard Redding neck bushings ranging from 0.285" to 0.293" and requires either a standard Redding Shellholder #1 (Part #11001) or a Competition Shellholder #1 (Part #11601).

Will this die set work with my standard Australian reloading press?

Yes, all three dies feature the industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface, making them fully compatible with single-stage and turret presses from major brands like Redding, RCBS, Hornady, Lyman, and Lee commonly used in Australia. As an unpowered mechanical reloading tool, it does not require electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certification.

Is this die set suitable for loading mixed-brand brass or high-volume progressive reloading?

Bushing-style dies like the Redding Type S require consistent brass wall thickness and proper case preparation to function optimally. If you are loading mixed-brand brass or running high-volume bulk ammunition on a progressive press, a standard full-length die set will generally provide better results than this precision match-grade kit.

6.5 Creedmoor Die Set - Redding 60446

The Redding 6.5 Creedmoor Type S - Elite Bushing Die Set (MPN: 60446) is a precision 3-die reloading package designed for handloading 6.5 Creedmoor (.264 in / 6.71 mm) bottleneck rifle cartridges. Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading, this set provides complete control over neck tension, case resizing, and bullet seating depth to minimise concentricity runout. The kit includes a Type S Full Length Sizing Die, a Type S Neck Sizing Die, and a Competition Bullet Seating Die featuring a floating alignment sleeve and both standard and VLD seating stems.

Key Features

Type S - Bushing Full Length Sizing Die (Part #77446): Sizes the entire case body and shoulder while accepting interchangeable bushings to adjust neck tension in 0.001" increments without overworking the brass. Operates as a body die when the bushing is removed.
Type S - Bushing Neck Sizing Die (Part #71446): Resizes only the cartridge neck using interchangeable bushings, preserving fire-formed case body dimensions for bolt-action chambers.
Competition Bullet Seating Die (Part #55446): Employs a micrometer seating head graduated in 0.001" increments alongside an internal floating sleeve that aligns the bullet and case before seating begins.
Dual Seating Stems: Includes both a standard profile seating stem and a dedicated VLD stem to accommodate varied match-grade bullet geometries.
Press Compatibility: Mounts directly into standard reloading presses configured for 7/8"-14 thread dies.

Who is the Redding 6.5 Creedmoor Type S - Elite Bushing Die Set for?

Precision long-range target competitors — relies on the 0.001" micrometer-adjustable Competition Seating Die and interchangeable neck bushings across the 0.285" to 0.293" range to minimize runout and dial in consistent neck tension for PRS, NRL, and F-Class 6.5 Creedmoor reloading die sets.
Benchrest handloaders and precision hunters — requires the 3-die system with 0.001" increment neck adjustment and a dedicated VLD seating stem to build match-grade .264 in (6.71 mm) ammunition tailored to specific chamber dimensions.

Less suitable for: High-volume progressive loading with mixed-brand brass, or semi-automatic gas gun platforms (such as AR-10s) requiring small base sizing; standard non-bushing full-length 2-die sets or dedicated small base sizing dies fit those applications better.
