Gents: Sooner or later I'm getting a 6.5x55 and will start rounding up some Redding S bushing dies, etc. Can someone give me a clue as to what a loaded round mikes using Winchester brass and Lapua brass? When I order the dies, it would be nice to get a couple of bushings in the same package. Thanks.

It's immaterial. You need to reload some ammo using your bullet of choice an then do the measuring drill.

6.5 bullets vary (as do all calibers) so........

BTW, IMO/E it's a waste of money unless you are a serious target shooter.

My RCBS regular dies will load "bughole" ammo with Berger VLDs.

Thanks toad, I just needed a place to start. I use bushing dies for three other chamberings, and they work very well.
