Thread: A few questions on 6.5 creedmoor loading stuff

I’m just curious to know from the Redding, Widden, Forster users, what are the real measurable advantages over the Lee dies? I just reloaded 100 6.5CM with 143gr ELD-X into Lapua SP brass yesterday. I was reading above about the bushing die sets. I measured the full length and neck sized only cases after running them through the respective dies, and they both produce exactly 0.290” necks. Not a gnat’s cock of difference between them. But every several cases I do feel slightly less resistance when seating the bullet, having been wondering whether I have too much neck tension variance.

I looked at the Sinclair deal, that looks attractive with a 0.288” bushing, but what improvment is it really going to make?
