I'm looking for a set of FL bushing sizing dies and micrometer seater (optional...) for a new rifle i'm building with the 6XC II reamer. Will the standard Redding Type S dies work well with this? The case diameter is slightly larger on the XC II if I remember correctly, and I don't want to overwork my brass, or have super sticky dies when resizing.

Thanks.
 
They work fine. The sizing is slightly tougher than a regular sizing die, but not by any reasonable margin. If you want the smoother resizing feeling, I would advise you to move to a 6XC II die.

Overall, the Redding Type S bushing dies in 6XC work just fine.
 
Quick question pal, how did that go for you? I'm on the same boat, and I wanted to see what your experience was before I shell 300 bucks, thanks in advance for your help!

Email Whitley @ [email protected]. Put ATTN Robert Whitley as the subject. And/or call (215) 348-8789 to get a true 6xcII sizing die.

This is your only option short of getting a custom die made. Their sizing die works great in the 6xcII chamber.
