Lee sizing die over works the 6.5 Grendel brass and will shorten the life of your brass.   I have Hornady dies plus I picked up a set of RCBS 264 LBC dies.   Both are good to go but be forewarned the RCBS use a non standard small decapping pin to fit the Lapua 6.5 Grendel small flash hole.   A lot of 6.5 Grendel users like the bushing dies and micrometer seating dies but I,ve gotten good results with standard dies.   On 6.5 Grendel remember you have to full length size and bump the shoulder back .003 - .006 to ensure proper chambering in semi autos.

The only Lee dies I own are their 9mm, .40S&W and .45acp "U" dies I purchased from Evolution Gun Works (EGW).

One of the attractions of owning the 6.5 Grendel is the potential for great accuracy provided by the high quality, high B.C. bullets. I personally prefer the lightest match bullets for use in this caliber. Don't cheap out on the equipment if you're interested in making the most of your efforts.
