L.E. Wilson built their name in the benchrest world, and this 6XC Micrometer Top Bullet Seater Die is a perfect example of why. It's a stainless steel arbor press seater chambered specifically for the 6XC, David Tubb's cross-course cartridge that's earned a huge following in High Power and PRS competition. The micrometer top lets you make precise seating depth changes in .001" graduations off an easy to read scale, so you can repeat your favorite load or chase the lands as your throat wears without any guesswork.
This is a hand die, meaning it runs on an arbor press with a mallet rather than a conventional threaded press. The payoff is alignment. Both the bullet and case are held in the chamber-type body as the bullet goes in, which keeps concentricity runout to a minimum. That straight-line seating is what separates match-grade ammo from the rest, and it's exactly the kind of consistency that matters when you're stretching the 6XC out to 1,000 yards.
Major seating changes are made with the 3/8" – 24 TPI threads in the cap, then you fine-tune with the micrometer for those small adjustments that make a difference. Because the whole setup is compact and press-portable, a lot of reloaders toss the arbor press and die in the range bag and tweak seating depth right at the bench. That saves the back and forth trips when you're working up a load.
The die is machined from long lasting stainless steel and carries clean laser engraved markings so you always know what you're grabbing. L.E. Wilson dies run harder than grade 8 bolts, and they're known for holding tolerances year after year. If you're loading precision 6XC ammo and want repeatable seating depth you can trust, this is the seater to reach for. Made in the USA.
No, this is a hand die designed for use with an arbor press. It can be operated with an arbor press or a mallet, but it is not made for a conventional threaded press. If you don't already run an arbor press, you'll want one to pair with this seater.
The micrometer top is graduated in .001" increments, so you can fine-tune seating depth with a lot of control. For bigger changes you back out the 3/8" – 24 TPI threads in the cap, then use the micrometer to zero in. This makes it easy to repeat a proven load or chase the lands as your throat erodes.
The chamber-type body holds both the case and bullet in alignment as the bullet is seated, which keeps concentricity runout extremely low. That straight-line seating is a big reason this style is popular in benchrest and precision rifle circles. For a match cartridge like the 6XC, that consistency shows up on target.
No, this is an individual bullet seating die only. You'll still need a sizing die and the appropriate case holder to complete your 6XC loading process. Many 6XC reloaders pair it with a matching L.E. Wilson sizer and fired case holder.
