6mmBR Reloading hardware?

[Buzzsaw]

Ok, remember SIMPLE. Which dies, other items I'll need ? I use a Forrester Co-Ax press, so dies need to be compatible with it.
I've never used bushing dies, always heard of donut problems. I guess I could add another step and decap first, then size.

I've always been happy with Redding FL with a carbide button sizer and a Competition seater.

I can use the RCBS because it has a special shell holder for its Comp. seater which is too thick to use in the CO_AX

I think most fellas would agree that HARRELS precision is a very good resource for FL bushing dies.
IMO most any seater will do the job.

I had a 6mm br built last year. For dies I went with a Redding body die for case size and shoulder bump, a Lee collet die for sizing the case neck and spent primer extraction and a Forster bench rest seater die for seating the bullet.. I get great run-out #'s this way and very cost effective. JMO

The Redding F/L Bushing die & Comp. Seater works well for me. On new brass I normally run the expander mandrel in the necks and then run the brass in my neck bushing die for desired neck tension. From there just use the F/L bushing die to bump shoulders & neck tension.

This is the ticket if you don’t turn necks imho. If you do turn the Harrell’s sizer is hard to beat

One more option: I use a full length Forster sizing die with a neck 'custom' honed (they'll do it for anybody very inexpensively) to .266 with the expander ball. It does a great job of sizing the brass and maintains very low case runout as measured on my Neco concentricity gauge. I also use their (Forster's) seating die and recently purchased the micrometer seating adjuster upgrade for it. I too was trying to keep this caliber simple.

Good luck with the fun choices you have ahead,

Widden Click Adjustable Bushing Die, and Wilson Micrometer Seater.

Warner sizing die! Wilson seating die! Choose your primer tool carefully.

I sent 5 cases, each shot three times with just neck sizing (borrowed dies) to Whidden along with my reamer print and had custom ones made. Have done that with all of my rifle dies except my 6PPC.

Short Action Customs and his seating die.

 

[Buzzsaw]

So far I went with

1. Redding decapper
2. Wilson Micrometer In-Line seater
3. K&M Arbor Press
4. Redding slanted concentry gauge
5. Wilson Expander with mandrel
6. RCBS bench primer (LOVE IT)

Probably send cases to Harrells or Whidden for sizer . Will look into Warner.
