6 Dasher Small Base die?

[praveen]

Where could I find a small base sizing die for 6 Dasher?

Some threads here mention that a 308 small base die will work but I'm not sure how the shoulder angle is managed?
OR will it not matter because 308 case is taller than 6 Dasher ?

I'm assuming that a 6 Dasher Redding Body die is not what I want to eliminate the bolt click.

I use a 45 acp sizer to eliminate bolt click .

Interesting... I'm going to try that.

D4 form Harrell's is the smallest Dasher die I know of.

i've used a 308 small base die on a chamber that was cut with the base dimension too small for a D4...FWIW

I used a 270 Winchester die with decapping stem taken out to small base size my br and dasher.

You should just contact Harrells about getting a die fitted to your brass.
Not expensive and, in my experience, will always get the job done.

I have a harrell's FL die which worked great but somehow this chamber seems to have been cut just a tad smaller. I wonder why because it was the same reamer. I thought about polishing the chamber but I'm not sure if I'll do it justice with simply running a drill/patch with some polishing compound.

What I see from the responses boils down to this...

Essentially the 6 BR base diameter spec is 0.473 and the .308 family of cartridges have a base spec of 0.470. So using a 308/270 win die makes sense.

45 ACP has a base diameter spec of 0.476 so if its die gets the job done, it'll likely work the brass the least.

I have a 6.5x47 rifle chamber that is tight and required that I size down the base at the 0.200 line to < .470 or I would have very difficult extraction. I was able to use a small base .308 die, which being a larger size case, did not touch the shoulder. Another option would be a ring die.

@Uthink Uknow sells the best ring die for that

45 ACP… that worked like magic. What a great solution !!!
