Separate FL Sizing Die?

[mmattockx]

I am about to start reloading 6.5x55 for hunting use. I want to buy the Lee collet die set because of their reputation for accuracy, but would like a FL sizing die for my hunting ammo to ensure easy feeding and reliable performance in the field.

So, can I get a full length sizing die to go with the neck sizing die that comes in the set?

Thanks,
Mark

The deluxe set has a FL die in the set. A better move is a separate Redding body die.

Just get a Redding type S-Match FL bushing die.

Type S – Full Bushing Die

Note: For the ultimate shoulder bump control, use our Type-S Full Bushing Die with our new Competition Shellholders.

Full length resizing while maintaining exact control of the case neck is often desirable in one operation. The new Type S - Full Length Resizing/Bushing Die accomplishes this task with the precision you would expect from Redding.

• Uses the same interchangeable bushings (.001" increments) as those used in our bushing style neck sizing dies.

• The adjustable decapping rod allows you to adjust the bushing position, sizing only part of the neck length when desired.

• Concentricity is enhanced by the ability of the bushing to self-center on the neck of the cartridge case.

• All Type S dies are supplied with both the standard size button and a decapping pin retainer for the advantages and versatility described under our Type S - Bushing Style Neck Sizing Dies.

All dies are supplied without bushings.
