Redding has so many dies, I'm not sure which one you are talking about. I use the Redding 2 die Master Hunter set for my 6.5 CM. That's the Redding Competition Seating Die and standard Redding Full Length Sizing Die. I also use the VLD seating stem to match the long bullets I prefer. I think its improved the consistency and accuracy of my loads a lot. The only issue is, the Competition seating die can't handle compressed loads which may be a problem if you load from the upper end of the chart. I use 42 gr of H4350 and RL-16 and both come really close to being compressed at a seating depth that will fit in a magazine. Loading longer is no issue so I've taken to seating at the lands for both bullets. If I want to use a magazine, I switch to my Lee die.
