The Redding 6.5×55mm Swede Competition Bushing Neck Die Set is a precision reloading solution built for shooters who demand tight concentricity and repeatability. This three-die set—featuring a competition bushing neck sizing die, body die, and competition bullet seater—lets you control case neck sizing to exacting tolerances while maintaining full-length body resizing for reliable chambering. If you're pushing for competition-grade accuracy or simply want better control over your handloads, this set delivers the mechanical advantage that separates consistent lots from mediocre ones.

The neck sizing die's design keeps your case completely supported and aligned before sizing begins. As you stroke the press, the case stays cradled in a tight sliding sleeve while the sizing bushing self-centers on the neck—much like a firing pin in its bore. That floating action, combined with the micrometer adjustment, gives you precise command over how much neck length gets sized. The body die handles full-length resizing and shoulder bump independently, so you're not fighting neck work when you adjust case headspace. The seating die's floating stem system is manufactured to tolerances tight enough that the stem can actually move slightly within its guide, centering the bullet naturally for minimal runout.

Redding's competition line assumes you already know what you're doing and want tools that won't get in your way. This set rewards methodical handloaders who understand that neck tension, shoulder position, and bullet runout are the three pillars of accuracy. Whether you're loading match ammo for a bolt gun or fine-tuning hunting rounds, the micrometer adjustments on the neck die and seater let you dial in your exact specifications and repeat them. Note that bushings and a shellholder are sold separately—you'll need to specify your bushing size based on your target neck tension.
