Description

If you're loading for the 6XC (Tubb) and want more control over your brass than a standard sizing die gives you, this L.E. Wilson 6XC (II) Bushing Full Length Die earns its spot on the bench. It sizes the case body and shoulder while letting you set your own neck tension with an interchangeable bushing, all in one pass of the press. Since it uses a bushing instead of an expander ball, you skip the case stretch and work hardening that comes from dragging a ball back up through the neck, which is a big part of why these dies have such a loyal following among precision reloaders.

What the 6XC (II) Full Length Die Does on the Bench

This die resizes the body and bumps the shoulder while a bushing of your choosing controls how much grip the neck puts on the bullet. One of the details Wilson is known for is that these full length bushing dies mimic their neck sizing dies and leave roughly 3/16 inch at the bottom of the neck unsized, something a lot of folks find gives better concentricity and accuracy. You can also run it with the bushing removed to just size the body and push the shoulder back if that's what your brass needs.

Build and Fitment for the 6XC Wilson Die

It's cut from high quality heat-treated steel and hardened to Wilson's own specs, which they describe as harder than a Grade 8 bolt. The die threads into any standard 7/8-14 reloading press, so it drops right into the setup you already own. Pairing it with an L.E. Wilson case gage makes dialing in your shoulder bump quick and keeps you from overworking your cases.

Keep in mind the neck bushing is sold separately so you can pick the exact size for your neck tension. Wilson recommends their own bushings, though Redding bushings fit as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 6XC (II) bushing full length die come with a bushing?

No, the neck bushing is sold separately so you can choose the exact size for the neck tension you want. L.E. Wilson recommends their own bushings, though Redding bushings fit this die as well. Picking the right bushing depends on your brass and the amount of bullet grip you're after.

Will this Wilson die work in my regular press?

Yes. The 6XC (II) full length die threads into any standard 7/8-14 reloading press, so it works with the setup most reloaders already have on the bench. No special press or adapter is needed.

Does this die use an expander ball?

No, this die controls neck tension with an interchangeable bushing instead of an expander ball. Skipping the expander reduces case stretch and work hardening, which helps your brass last longer and keeps your necks more concentric.

Can I use the 6XC die to just bump the shoulder without sizing the neck?

Yes. You can run the die with the bushing removed to size the case body and push the shoulder back without touching the neck. Pairing it with an L.E. Wilson case gage makes it easy to set your shoulder bump and avoid overworking the brass.
