RCBS 6.5 Creedmoor X Die Lead

RCBS has announced the expansion of its patented, popular X-Die Series of dies with the addition of a 6.5 Creedmoor full-length sizer die.

Designed for reloaders who want maximum case life and minimum time spent trimming brass, RCBS’s X-Die series features a patented mechanism that eliminates the need for repeated trimming after initial case prep. Unlike standard full-length sizing dies, the X-Die uses a specialized mandrel system that precisely limits case growth during sizing—saving time while preserving critical dimensions for accurate shooting.

“This new X-Die brings speed and efficiency to reloading a popular cartridge,” said RCBS Product Manager Steve Koch. “With this sizing die, shooters can go multiple firings without trimming cases—while still maintaining proper headspace, neck tension and reliability.”

Proudly Made in America, the 6.5 Creedmoor X-Die joins an expanding lineup of X-Dies and X-Die sets available in full-length sizing, neck sizing and small base sizing options for a variety of popular bottleneck rifle cartridges such as .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield and now 6.5 Creedmoor.

The 6.5 Creedmoor X-Die full-length sizer has an MSRP of $67.49. For more information, visit rcbs.com.
