Redding Die, 6.5x47L, type S neck die set

This neck die set comes as a three piece set. Is is ready to go when you recieve it.

It states it comes with a decapping rod and a standard size button. But you can order different bushings if needed/desired.

I just want to make sure my set is ready to go and if I want to order bushings later I will.

Thanks for your help.

You're gonna have to get bushings before you use them. Should be a body bump die, Seater and a Bushing neck die with no bushing in it to start.

Is this the best Die set, or is there an alternative? It's hard to find info on this die set!

Or what is the best die set for a beginner?

I see RCBS makes a GOLD MEDAL 2-Die Set. Is this all I need to start? Also should I get the FL or Neck bushing die set? or get the FL and but the neck die and only use the FL when needed.

I'd look into the Forester
Here's a good place to buy:

Bushing on order .290 loaded case minus .001, .289 ordered! I already have the kit, might as well get the bushing to complete it!

I would say the best dies set either if your a beginner or a pro would be the Forester Full length competition set. (This is what I use on my 6x47 lapua, no consintricity problems, and the dang guns will shoot !) I am not a big fan of neck dies, and especially Reeding. (Send me a PM if you want to know why.) If you must have a neck die, I would look at Neil Jones, Harrell, or Forester, all three will also bump the shoulder back, and the bushings fit tight.

So the Forester takes a custom bushing also? I loaded one of my 6.5x47's and the exact neck measurement was .290.

Only the Forester bump dies. The standard full length die has no bushing. The bump dies use a complete different style of bushing than the Wilson/Reeding style. The Forester bushings are longer and have a cut in the bottom to size the transition point of where the neck meets the shoulder. (Similare to a Neil Jones)
