I am looking at bushing dies by redding, but there appears to be a lot of options. I want a full length die and was looking at the 2 die set from them "6.5mm Grendel Type S Match Bushing Full Length Die Set" looks like they are about $180. Are those the ones you are talking about?

Gb:

Yes, bushing full length sizing die. Can never remember the bushing sizes I have but someone else can tell you. I think mine are .285, .286, and .287. Don't quote me so wait until someone else chimes in before buying.

If you have not yet dropped the money on the Charge Master, I advise you buy a very good powder measure (Harrell is the best I know of) and a good electronic scale instead.

You will find that those automatic dispensers are tediously slow and are utterly unnecessary when using ball powders or fine stick powders. A good powder measure will throw ball powder for a Grendel (about 30 grains) so uniformly that you do not need to worry about the huge variances in weight that we used to have with the old 4064 powder in a 30-06 or .308 for example.
