You can use any dies with this setup. I use a neck die in the first stage, a body die in the second, drop my powder in the third, seat my bullet in the fourth and add a crip if I am shooting a semi-auto in the fifth stage.
redding bushing neck, body dies and the micrometer seating dies. You will need to establish what bushing you need based on the bullet you are using.
This is a great turn key set

So the bushing size is based on the diameter of the bullet the bullet I'll be using is a Hornady 6.5 MM 147 Grain EDL MATCH #26333 , H4350
Still look at primers.
I would recommend the Forster Benchrest die set for the 6.5 CM.
If you are loading for only one rifle, send the sizing die to them along with a few fired cases and they will hone it out so it matches the fired brass and doesn't overwork the brass for a nominal fee.
The Forster seater dies are my favorite. The benchrest version is the same as the ultra, just cheaper without the micrometer markings on the top. I find I don't use the markings, so save a decent amount of $$ by going with the benchrest version.

I agree with Rimfiremike, the Redding set is quick and easy but if you are looking for ultimate accuracy the Forster is the way to go
