6MM Dasher Seating Die.

[bdsss]

Can someone recommend a good high quality 6 dasher seating die? The Forster die I have is a piece of crap. I like my 6 BR Redding dies but they don't make a dasher set, dand it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I use a Whidden, however it looks and works much like Forster... You might not like it either.. But both Forster and Whidden do make some of the best dies going..

See if you can take a 6mm BR Redding Seating die and run your Dasher chambering reamer into the seating sleeve. Viola"

I'll be using a Wilson inlign seater on my new Dasher build.

I just moved to Wilson seating dies for my match rifles. I like them very much. In reality, they are no faster, nor slower than the press mounted dies, and concentricity is excellent.

I also use Wilson seater dies. For everything I shoot

Whats the Forster die not doing? Barlow

When I started shooting 6 Dasher the only seating die I could find in stock was the plain-jane Forster. Indeed, it is a wobbly piece of junk that won't hold a setting. (I got it to work marginally better by stacking a pile of o-rings under the adjuster head... it helped) Then it occurred to me to try my Redding 6BR comp seater. It works just fine on a 6 Dasher.

Wilson, nothing but!!

I use a Wilson seater for my dasher. That being said I own quite a few Forster dies, all with the micro tops and I have never had a problem with any of them. Some calibers I have had both Forster and Wilson for and I can say there was negligible if any difference in the accuracy or concentricity between the two. I prefer the feel that comes with using an arbor press. To come out and say a die is a peice of crap and not give any reasons why seems odd.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Several good suggestions made, and I think I'll look into The Wilson set up. I'll look into trying my 6 BR seater also.

I said the Forester was crap because it is not accurate and the setting is never consistent. I measure my bullets on the ojive and point and meplat before loading.

Thanks again....

Had my Dasher a while, got a Wilson in-line 6br and had my smith cut it with my Dasher reamer, works great.

You definitely know when you need to small base size your brass when you use a die cut with your own reamer. I cut my own 6br from a blank many years ago and then converted it to a Dasher last year. Every now and then I have to persuade the brass to come back out of the die.

Speaking of which, will Wilson sell a micrometer seater blank? I've only seen the basic blank.

How well do the Wilson cut dies fit standard PTG Dasher reamer body dimensions?

They sell the micrometer tops

Thank you! I can't believe I have never seen that before. Ordered one a few minutes ago.

I use Forster FL honed sizer and mic seater die for my 6 Dasher and have 0 issues. I have the mic seaters for 220 Swift and 257 Ackley, and no problems with them either. I will buy more when needed. Barlow
