Custom 6ppc Wilson full length sizing die??

[Mike Montgomery]

I am purchasing a custom full length sizing, bushing die for a 6ppc and will be sending in 3 fired cases. I need advice on dimensions. How much should the die reduce the cases?
Thanks in advance...

IME, a die that's. 003 smaller than the chamber reamer is very good, if not ideal.
Several variables like pressure and how many times the brass has been fired but, I like to see a sized case be very nearly .0015 smaller at the shoulder/body junction and .0005-.0006 smaller at the web vs a fired and unsized piece of brass. A die .003 smaller than the chamber will yield this after spring back..or very close. We can split this hair from now till whenever, but this has provided me good results in terms of accuracy and brass life...and I hate clickers.

Does wilson even do that kind of custom work?

They just honed a die for me, with three fired cases.

Just received a reply to my email and yes, they will hone a die to your requested dimensions. I forgot to ask how many $. I'll email them and post my results.

Good to hear, the last I heard from Forester they are out of the custom die business. They were offering a few dies to pick from but not really custom. I will be ordering one of the new Wilson custom dies. Competition is good.

Price quote is $98. Plus shipping. I have one for my 6BR (no custom honing) and it is very nicely machined. I like it better than my Redding dies. I use it with a PMA click adjuster.
Thanks for the replies...
