What dies for 6.5x55 Ackley Improved?

[CV32]

What are the complete set of dies I need (or should have) for this cartridge? (I have preferred Redding products).

A Lee collet neck sizer might work to size the neck. I use a regular 260Rem Lee collet die to neck size my 260Rem Ackley.

The Redding bushing neck sizer should work.

If you want a FL sizer, you can mail 3 fired cases to RCBS and they will make you a sizer. I did that and it cost about $150.

Get a Redding deluxe set. It will include FL sizer, Neck sizer and a seating die.
I have this set, and load for 1000 yard competition with it.

I have this setup for my 25-06 Ackley improved. Redding products are great.

In a pinch you could get by with a 25 cal neck sizer (lee or horndy) eventually you will have to bump the shoulder...not sure how many firings you will get by neck sizing only.

Redding. Not a fan of collet dies because of neck tension. The type s Neck bushing match set is superb. The type s Match FL set is #2, but I like the body bump die and the neck-only set up of the type S Match neck die sets.

Redding Competition sets have a micrometer neck resizer and I never found this usefull at all, especially for the money
