Redding to make 257 Creedmoor reloading dies . i have hardly shot this 6.5 Creedmoor and it just shoots good groups easy,reason is because 6.5Creedmoor has the better bullets and Redding makes good dies for this cartridge that`s the difference in these 2 fine cartridges. i am hoping soon that changes so i can use my 257 Creedmoor in our winter shoots ?


Why would you build a rifle in a cartridge with crappy bullets and dies then bitch about crappy bullets and dies?
