The Redding 80446 6.5 Creedmoor Full Length Die Set is a precision two-die handloading kit engineered to reform fired brass and seat bullets to SAAMI minimum chamber tolerances. Built from heat-treated, precision-machined alloy steel that is lathe-turned and hand-polished, the set comprises a full-length sizing die with an integrated decapping and expander assembly alongside a standard bullet seating die featuring an internal alignment guide and built-in crimp ring. Designed with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads, the tooling installs directly into standard Australian-market single-stage and turret reloading presses to deliver consistent, factory-spec chamber clearances across both bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.

Key Features

• Two-Die Operation: Includes a Full Length Sizing Die (Part #91446) for depriming and resizing brass across the neck, shoulder, and body, plus a Bullet Seating Die (Part #92446) for bullet seating and optional crimping.
• Universal Press Threading: Uses the industry-standard 7/8"-14 thread interface to ensure broad mechanical compatibility across single-stage and turret presses.
• Calibre-Specific Forming: Engineered specifically for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge using standard 0.264-inch (6.5 mm) diameter projectiles.
• Integrated Crimp Ring: Built-in crimp function in the seating die can be engaged or disengaged simply by adjusting the die height relative to the shellholder.
• Storage and Loading Base: Ships in a dedicated hard case that doubles as a cartridge loading block, supplied with a spare decapping pin and hex wrench.

Who is the Redding 80446 6.5 Creedmoor Full Length Die Set for?

• Precision long-range target shooters reloading 6.5 Creedmoor — Returns fired 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge cases to precise SAAMI dimensions using a dedicated 2-die system built with 7/8"-14 threads for single-stage bench presses.
• Hunters handloading custom ammunition for bolt-action rifles — Full-length resizes 6.5 Creedmoor brass across the neck, shoulder, and case body to ensure smooth chambering and reliable extraction in field conditions using a compact 0.61 kg boxed kit.
• High-volume shooters maintaining semi-automatic 6.5 Creedmoor platforms — Employs a robust sizing assembly threaded to universal 7/8"-14 standards to ensure once-fired brass consistently feeds into semi-automatic rifle chambers without binding.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking incremental seating adjustments down to 0.001-inch increments without purchasing an add-on micrometer stem, who are better served by a dedicated competition micrometer seating die. Case lubrication is required prior to full-length sizing to prevent stuck cases, and the required Redding Standard Shellholder #1 must be purchased separately.
