Will this Redding 36487 die set work for reloading standard 6.5 Creedmoor cases?

No, this die set is strictly engineered for the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (6.5 PRC) and cannot be used for 6.5 Creedmoor or .264 Winchester Magnum cases due to differing body dimensions and headspace requirements.

What extra components do I need to purchase separately to start reloading with this set?

The 2-die set requires a standard Redding #6 shellholder (or competition shellholder set #11606) and interchangeable steel or titanium nitride neck sizing bushings in .001 inch increments, which are sold separately. You will also need case lube such as the Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax to ensure smooth full-length sizing operations.

Does this mechanical reloading tool require any Australian electrical safety certifications or a 240V plug?

As a purely mechanical tool, this die set requires no mains power, batteries, or Australian electrical safety certifications like SAA or RCM. It operates entirely by hand on standard reloading presses featuring the industry-standard 7/8 inch-14 thread pitch.

How do the Type S bushing and competition seating die help achieve sub-MOA precision for long-range shooting?

The Type S die resizes the case body while letting you precisely control neck tension using interchangeable bushings to prevent overworking the brass. Meanwhile, the competition seating die features a sliding alignment sleeve that fully supports the case before bullet seating, paired with a micrometer head calibrated in .001 inch increments to ensure minimal runout.

6.5 PRC Die Set - Redding 36487

The Redding Type S Match Bushing Full Die Set (MPN: 36487) is a precision 2-die reloading system engineered for the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (6.5 PRC). Designed for handloaders using .264" diameter projectiles, this set provides complete control over case neck tension and bullet seating depth. It combines a Type S Bushing Full Length Resizing Die (Part #77487) with a Competition Seating Die (Part #55487) to maintain total cartridge concentricity, reduce bullet runout to between .001" and .002", and ensure smooth chambering in precision rifles.

Key Features

Type S Full Length Sizer: Fully resizes the case body and bumps the shoulder to specification while utilising interchangeable neck sizing bushings (available in .001" increments) to prevent overworking brass necks.
Competition Seating Die: Features a patented sliding alignment sleeve that completely supports the 6.5 PRC case before seating begins, paired with a micrometer head calibrated in .001" increments for precise seating depth adjustments.
Convertible Body Sizing: Internal components can be removed from the full length sizer, allowing it to function as a dedicated body die.
Universal Press Fit: Built with industry-standard 7/8"-14 threads to mount into standard single-stage and turret reloading presses.

Who is the Redding 6.5 PRC Type S Match Full Length Die Set for?

Long-range PRS and NRL precision rifle competitors — requires minimal runout and consistent shoulder setback across 7/8"-14 reloading presses to guarantee rapid, jam-free cycling during timed stages without sacrificing sub-.002" bullet concentricity on .264" match projectiles.
Dedicated long-range hunters shooting 6.5 PRC — relies on full-length case body sizing to ensure reliable feeding and chambering of .264" hunting bullets in dusty field conditions, while preserving brass life through customized .001" incremental neck bushing sizing.

Less suitable for: Handloaders seeking to resize standard 6.5 Creedmoor or .264 Winchester Magnum cases, which have different body dimensions and headspace requirements; this application requires a cartridge-specific full-length die set designed precisely for those respective case geometries.
