Dillion precision does not make a 6.5 creedmoor die? Any suggestion on a good die set for the creedmoor?
I'd check if Redding made Creedmoor dies. Ive handled them, but never used them. They looked the quality part for sure.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Theres probably not a wrong choice but I've been happy with all of the RCBS and Redding dies that I have. Just going with the brand of your other dies should work fine.
Sounds like you are planing on using a Dillon press for your 6.5 CM. I've tried them for prs shooting an they have to much slopQuote:

The good thing is the brass for the CM is pretty consistent in the neck thickness area. So I don't need to turn them. Not the same for some reason in other calibers.
Good luck with your handholds for this caliber.
I have a set of Redding dies for the CM
also have the micrometer seating die
most all my die sets are made by Redding
I use Whidden dies and the produce very low runout rounds.
