What neck bushings and shellholders do I need to purchase separately to use the Redding 6mm Dasher Type S Match Full Length Die Set?

This die set does not include neck bushings or a shellholder, which must be acquired separately. You will need a standard Redding Shellholder #1 (Part #11001) or Competition Shellholder Set #1 (Part #11601), along with appropriate sizing bushings—typically steel or titanium nitride models sized around 0.264" to 0.268" depending on your brass make and neck-wall thickness.

Does this mechanical reloading die set require any electrical compliance or SAA/RCM certifications for use in Australia?

No. As a purely mechanical reloading tool featuring a standard 7/8"-14 thread, electrical compliance, 240V ratings, and SAA/RCM regulatory approvals are entirely inapplicable to this product.

How should I maintain these hardened steel dies to prevent surface rust during humid Australian conditions?

Because these are precision-machined from heat-treated steel, they require proper storage with anti-corrosion oils like Inox or lanolin to protect against surface rusting in humid Australian climates. Regular wiping and light oiling after use will ensure longevity and maintain tight tolerances across thousands of match rounds.

How do the sizing and seating dies in the 36648 set achieve precision for 6mm Dasher match ammunition?

The Type S sizing die uses interchangeable bushings in 0.001" increments to control neck tension while bumping the shoulder back to SAAMI match specs in a single stroke. Meanwhile, the Competition Seating Die features an internal sliding sleeve to pre-align the case and bullet, paired with a micrometer head calibrated for direct adjustments in 0.001" increments.

6mm Dasher Die Set - Redding 36648

The Redding Type S Match Bushing Full Die Set for 6mm Dasher is a precision two-die reloading system designed to resize cartridge brass and seat .243 in diameter projectiles to exact tolerances. Built with standard 7/8"-14 threading for single-stage and turret reloading presses, this set provides full-length case resizing, shoulder setback, and customizable neck tension control to minimize bullet runout in competitive shooting applications.

Key Features

Type S Full-Length Bushing Sizing Die: Resizes the case body and bumps the shoulder to spec in a single stroke, utilizing self-centering interchangeable neck bushings (sold separately) to prevent brass overworking.
Competition Seating Die: Features a sliding alignment sleeve that holds the 6mm Dasher case and bullet in perfect axial alignment before seating, paired with a top-mounted micrometer head calibrated in 0.001" increments.
Configurable Sizing Assembly: Sizer can be operated with the standard expander button, converted to bushing-only sizing using the included decapping pin retainer to eliminate expander drag, or stripped of internal parts to serve as a body bump die.
Hardened Steel Construction: Built from heat-treated steel for mechanical reloading presses, maintaining dimensional precision across high-volume match preparation cycles.

Who is the Redding 6mm Dasher Type S Match Full Length Die Set for?

Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors — requires full-length sizing reliability across standard 7/8"-14 thread presses to ensure smooth feeding of 6mm Dasher (.243 in bullet diameter) brass during fast-paced positional stages.
Benchrest and long-range target shooters — relies on the Competition Seating Die with its 0.001" micrometer adjustments and sliding sleeve alignment to seat .243 in bullets with minimal axial runout.
Australian fly shoot competitors — utilizes interchangeable sizing bushings in this 6mm Dasher reloading die set to regulate neck tension in 0.001" increments for consistent muzzle velocity.

Less suitable for: Shooters fireforming brass dedicated to a single bolt-action chamber where full-length body sizing is unnecessary (who are better served by a bushing neck-sizing die set), or high-volume field shooters who do not require neck bushing adjustments in 0.001" increments (who are better suited to standard non-bushing full-length dies).
