The RCBS Full Length Die Set 28201 for 6.8 Western gives you the core tooling needed to reload bottleneck cases for this modern cartridge. This two-die set includes everything required for the resize and seating stages of the reloading process—a Full-Length Sizer Die with integrated Expander-Decapping Unit and a Seater Die with built-in Bullet Seater Plug. If you're loading for a 6.8 Western rifle and want to work up loads with consistent headspace and neck tension, this is the foundation you're building on.
The Full-Length Sizer Die brings fired cases back to SAAMI minimum dimensions, sizing the case body, de-priming, and expanding the neck in one stroke. The die is vented to prevent case damage from trapped air and excess lubricant—a design detail that extends case life, especially important when you're reloading quality brass. The seater die handles bullet seating and includes a roll crimper to lock the bullet in place simultaneously, giving you a finished round ready for the chamber.
Standard 7/8"-14 thread dies fit any modern single-stage or progressive press equipped with that standard thread. The set ships in RCBS's recognizable green die box and is built from proprietary die steel. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for precision rifle work or just getting consistent ammunition through a high-round-count gun, this set is built to hold tolerances and deliver repeatable results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this die set work with my single-stage press?
Yes. The RCBS Full Length Die Set 28201 uses the standard 7/8"-14 thread, which fits any modern single-stage or progressive reloading press with that thread size.
What's included in this two-die set?
The set includes a Full-Length Sizer Die with an Expander-Decapping Unit and a Seater Die with a Bullet Seater Plug and roll crimper. This covers the two primary steps needed to resize fired cases and seat bullets for 6.8 Western ammunition.
Does the seater die crimp the bullet?
Yes. The Seater Die includes a built-in roll crimper that secures the bullet at the same time it's seated, eliminating a separate step and ensuring consistent bullet retention.
What's the purpose of the vents in the sizer die?
The vented design prevents case damage caused by trapped air and excess lubricant inside the die during the sizing stroke, which helps extend the life of your brass.
