I'm going to start reloading for the 6.5 Creedmoor. I won't be shooting match rounds but do want to produce accurate loads. I will also be shooting high BC 140 grain bullets so the seater will have to accommodate those type bullets. I'm not much for full length sizing and prefer neck sizing after the first firing. What die set should I be looking at ?
Thanks

I have started switching over to the forester dies and love them.

Forester makes lots of different sets. Which is the best for items I mentioned above?

I would go with the bushing bump neck sizing die and the micrometer seating die. jmho

If you are just learning to load the non bushing dies would probably be the way to go. I would go with the micrometer seater and I think you will need the vld stem for the seater.

Been at it for 25 years. I don't think forester makes a bushing bump set for the 6.5 creedmoor
