6 BRX Wilson seating die

[Terry O]

As Wilson does not offer a seating die for the BRX, I'm thinking a Dasher (which is offered) would work just as well. What say you?

I say buy a SS Micro top Wilson 6BR and have the gunsmith ream it out

No need to have your smith ream out a 6br...just use it. I've been using one for right over a year with zero problems. I was going to have the smith do it but a buddy of mine told me I was just wasting my money...he was right.

I wouldn't recommend using a 6br sizing die because you will get bolt click but for a Wilson seater that's fine.

Measurement indicate a BRX case rim .073 beyond the base of my Wilson BR seater and zero with the Wilson Dasher seater. Wouldn't having the case extend beyond the base of the die present a problem? I'm thinking the Dasher die is the way to go but maybe I'm missing something.

 

[Judd]

Presents no problem at all. Your measurements are correct.

The dasher die will not support the shoulders. I'd rather have shoulder support over base of the case. The OAL measurement is case had to ojive so there is always pressure on the base anyway.

Judd,
Thanks for your input. You've given me something to think about.

If you want to do it right, do this.

I took a Wilson .243 seating die and had some taken off the bottem to use with my 6BRX. Works fine and I get straight ammo with little to no run out.

i'm building my 6BRX atm and i will be using my redding comp 6BR dies to bump the shoulder (just adjust it up .098 thou so it bumps the shoulder), then i will use my 243 die to size the base of the case when needed then use my 6BR seating die , bit more work changing dies but i dont care and saves myself a few hundred $

That's how I do it too.

You do know wilsons sell seater blanks that can be reamed with your chamber reamer. Get one done and do it right the first time. Add a micrometer top and your sorted.

This is what I had made works good with my BRX and cheaper than a Wilson blank

Now why didn't I think of that!

My gunsmith made my chamber .100” deeper than the standard BR

So I had him make it .100” deeper
