6XC full length resizing die?

I have just bought one of these dies.

Any recommendations or warnings before I start to use it to resize Norma 6XC brass.
Thanks JCS
 
Use a ton of RCBS case lube & a big press!
Mine oversized so badly that rims tore off cases wedged in.

I sent it to JLC Precision & Jim did his best with it. But cases still wedged badly in the shoulder area. So I raked it into a trash can, ordered a new die from Jim & never had an issue again.
I like the little gizzys that come with the die. They suck as neck bushings but work great for shoulder bump comparators.

With what brass did you use the Tubb die?

What brass will you be using?

It was Tubb's 6XC head stamped brass.
I've considered that McMillan may have chambered my T2K barrel with a reamer that was somehow incompatible with Tubb's original design. I just can't see it.

And I understand that some people have not had an issue like I did.
But my experience with Tubb's sizing die seemed as I would expect with something cheap & oversizing, like an RCBS FL die.
There was nothing about it that impressed me, compared to a far cheaper JLC.
