6.5X55 Neck Sizer die

So I have my Tikka 695 printing very nice grouping's ( 5 rounds in to, or less 1in at 100 yds). would buying a neck sizing die help, other than brass life? Would you try or leave it alone. Thanks BB

On a factory SAAMI chamber, it will help the wear and tear on brass because the tolerances are relatively generous. That may help somewhat with accuracy.

A Redding neck sizing die and about 2 thou neck tension (.289 or .290 bushing on good brass) will be all you need.

It can't hurt!

My opinion: if you are going to get a Redding neck sizing die (I really like 'em), get a "Type S" changeable-bushing neck sizer die. Don't bother with the micrometer-adjustable changeable-bushing neck sizer die; I never found a productive use for the micrometer there, it's not worth the extra money. (now for seater dies - I wholeheartedly endorse the Redding micrometer adjustable "Competition Series" seater die).

The Lee Collet dies are reputed to be an excellent product, I have never tried one yet. FS

Dies that work brass the least are the best choices for brass life.
