The Redding 80479 6.5x47 Lapua Full Length Reloading Die Set With Hardened Steel Construction is a two-die mechanical reloading system precision-machined for handloading 6.5x47mm Lapua ammunition. Manufactured from heat-treated and hand-polished alloy steel, this set includes a full-length resizing die with a decapping rod assembly and neck expander button, alongside a conventional seating die featuring a built-in crimp ring and bullet seating plug. It operates on an unpowered mechanical interface using standard 7/8"-14 threads, making it directly compatible with mainstream reloading presses to restore fired brass to factory dimensions and seat target projectiles with consistent concentricity.

• Full-Length Resizing & Decapping: The full-length sizing die simultaneously depowers spent primers, expands the case neck, and returns fired bottleneck brass to factory dimensional specifications for reliable feeding and extraction.
• Precision Bullet Seating: The conventional seating die aligns projectiles concentrically with the case neck and accommodates both non-crimped target seating and optional roll crimping via its internal crimp ring.
• Hardened Steel Construction: Built from heat-treated, hand-polished alloy steel to resist wear and maintain tight internal tolerances across high-volume reloading sessions.
• Standard Press Interface: Features standard 7/8"-14 die threads for direct compatibility with single-stage and progressive reloading presses.
• Unpowered Mechanical Operation: Requires 0V electrical input and functions entirely via manual press operation.

Who is the Redding 80479 6.5x47 Lapua Full Length Reloading Die Set With Hardened Steel Construction for?

• Precision Rifle Competitors — requires sizing fired brass back to original 6.5x47mm Lapua dimensions while maintaining concentricity for PRS match ammunition on presses utilizing the 7/8"-14 thread standard.
• Handloaders and Hunters — relies on the 7/8"-14 thread interface and dedicated 6.5x47mm Lapua sizing die dimensions to produce dependable bolt-action field rounds that chamber and extract smoothly without case binding.

Less suitable for: Reloaders loading other 6.5mm cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC, which exceed this tool's fixed 6.5x47mm Lapua chamber dimensions and require their respective calibre-specific die sets, or operators running 1-1/4"-12 large-series presses without a standard 7/8"-14 thread reducer bushing.
