6mm Competition dies

[Jeff A]

I have long reloaded for my 2 22-250's using an RCBS Competition die set. I have a 6mm Rem Cooper coming in a few months and noticed that RCBS does not have a set of Comp dies for the 6mm Rem. What would you suggest I buy to accomplish the same level,or better) of accuracy of reloading for the new caliber?

Seems like this is a good setup. Why not the more exotic Competition Bushing Neck Die Set?

My bad I didn't realize the type S were also buhsing dies. I have the Competition Bushing Style Neck Sizing Die and it works great. I've got a match chamber in mine so getting the neck right is important. It works like a charm.

RCBS Gold Medal Match FL bushing 2 die set.
That would be the top of the line RCBS competition dies, they are available in 6mm Rem.
I have developed a preference to them over the Redding Competition die set.

I have not seen those. Why do you prefer them over the Reddings?

 

[jamesh]

The reason I prefer them is that the window in the bullet seating die greatly decreases the time required to seat bullets. They seem to make just as straight of ammo as my Redding Competition dies so because of the bullet window I give the RCBS dies the nod.

You guys have been great in your responses. I did purchase dies. I got the Redding Type S Bushing Neck Die Set,on sale at Midway, BTW) and they shipped to me yesterday. I did opt for a carbide expander plug as well.

A note about customer service. I have had the opportunity to try RCBS customer service recently and they were good after wait times on the phone that sometimes exceeded one hour. When I was baffled about this new,to me) type of die, I called Redding and got a knowledgeable rep immediately and he spent plenty of time with me so I could make an intelligent choice. When I forgot one question and called back, I asked for him and was connected immediately. SUPERB Customer Service!

Thank you all.
