The Redding Full Length Sizing Die for 6.5x55mm Swedish Mauser (MPN: 91132) is a precision reloading tool designed to return fired cartridge brass to factory headspace and exterior dimensions. Machined from heat-treated alloy steel, the die features internal sizing surfaces hand-polished and hardened to Rockwell Rc 60–62 to minimise friction and prevent case galling. In a single press stroke, the unit resizes the full case body, sets back the shoulder, expands the case neck to accept standard 0.264" diameter projectiles, and decaps the spent primer using the internal decapping assembly.

Key Features

• Full-Length Resizing: Restores fired brass to factory SAAMI/CIP specifications to ensure reliable feeding and chambering across various firearm actions.
• Single-Stroke Decapping and Expanding: Features an integrated decapping rod assembly (#34263) with a standard expander button (#39263) and decapping pin (#01060) to decap and size necks concurrently.
• Wear-Resistant Alloy Steel: Hardened to Rockwell Rc 60–62 with polished internal surfaces for smooth operation and long service life.
• Universal Press Mounting: Features industry-standard 7/8"-14 threading with an included locking ring for secure positioning on standard reloading presses.

Who is the Redding Full Length Sizing Die for 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser for?

• Military surplus 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser shooters — requires a full-length sizing die constructed with an internal hardness of Rockwell Rc 60–62 to consistently size brass down to SAAMI/CIP factory dimensions for smooth chambering in vintage military actions.
• Range-pickup and mixed-brass 6.5x55 handloaders — requires standard 7/8"-14 press threads to fit common reloading benches and decap spent primers while simultaneously bumping the shoulder and resizing fire-expanded cases back to uniform dimensions.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to size other 6.5mm cartridges such as 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC, or those operating without high-pressure case sizing lubrication; shooters seeking minimal brass working for fire-formed custom chambers should consider a neck-only sizing die, while precision competition reloaders requiring 0.001" increment neck tension control should choose a bushing-style sizing die.
