    Correct me if I'm wrong, but my Redding S-type 6.5 Creed FL sizing die will work for sizing 6 Creed as well, right? All I need to do is use the appropriate sized bushing for the neck, correct?

    What about seating bullets? Is there a way to use my current micrometer die or am I better off getting one specifically for 6 Creed? Thanks all!
     
    I'm not sure on the sizing die but I think that you would be better getting the correct seating die as the higher end ones like a forester hold the bullet in alignment with the case neck.
     
    Yes for the bushing and sizer. I tried it with a .270 bushing and it worked perfectly.

    You will want a 6mm seater so it hits the bullet in the right spot with the seater stem as it seats. So if you just buy a bushing and seater you should be fine. Or if you had a .243 or 6xc etc seater you could use that as well.
