Which Dies for 6.5x300 Wby Mag?

[Chris Terra]

Only standard die sets are available to load for the 6.5x300 Weatherby. I was hoping to use a bushing die and a micrometer seater to load as precise as possible but nothing is available. Other than settling for dies that are available and removing the size button and following up with a mandrel does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions that I'm overlooking? Anything in regard to neck tension, shoulder bump, and seating depth appreciated.

How crazy do you want to go with the $$$$$$$. Call Redding @ 607-753-3331 in Cortland,N.Y. or L.E.Wilson for bushing dies @ 509-762-1328 in Cashmere WA see if they will cut one for you

Chris,

If you really want the best dies:

These are the very best you will find. Yes, they are expensive but read the description and call them first before making a decision.

I did that with Redding and they have a 10-12 month wait. I'll try giving Wilson a call

Standard Redding dies followed by a mandrel will make excellent ammo.
A micrometer seater really isn't necessary as long as everything is straight.
Have done this for years with great success.

Cheers.

Thanks. This is most likely the route I will take.
