Wondering what sizing dies everyone is using with their 6.5 Creedmoor ctr? Trying to find something that doesn’t excessively size the brass. Thanks.

Lee collet die?

I tried a Lee Collet die after watching a few episodes of Red Green but the string and duct tape kept ripping before reaching 25 foot pounds.

Sorry but with the Forster die you only size the case once and the Forster die produces the least neck runout of any die I have ever used.

I am using the Redding Master Hunter die set , and accuracy is sub 1/2 moa. I normally prefer the Redding Match set with Neck bushing die, but I decided to save some cash.

Nice
I guess some people have a built in torque wrench and some don’t.
 
I use the Forster custom honed FL sizer die, it produces the most concentric cases.
now my Redding bushing die collects dust.
 
I've been running RCBS full-length comp dies, but my next set is going to be Whidden dies, I really like their concept since I full-length size and it seems like you can really set your brass up the way you need with minimum working of the brass.
 
in my 6.5 CTR I use the Redding TypeS neck bushing die, body die and standard seater with micrometer VLD stem. I use this same die set for most cartridges I load for, very happy with the results
 
I bought a Whidden set for my 6XC, liked it so much I bought one for my 6.5 Creedmoor. I did originally start with a RCBS die set
 
Thanks for the feedback. A Redding bushing die may be my best bet. It would probably be a long wait to send a die to Forster to get honed.
