Redding Type S Elite Die Set 6Mmxc

The Redding Type S Elite Die Set for 6mm XC gives serious reloaders the precision tools they need to produce match-grade ammunition with exacting consistency. This three-die set combines Redding's proven bushing-die technology with a dedicated competition seating die, making it a natural choice for long-range hunters, precision rifle competitors, and handloaders who refuse to compromise on accuracy. Whether you're building rounds for a custom 6mm XC rifle or fine-tuning loads for competition, the Type S Elite delivers the control and repeatability that separate good ammo from great ammo.

At the heart of this die set is Redding's Type S bushing system—a design that lets you dial in neck tension with 0.001" increments without over-working your brass. The free-floating bushings self-center on the case neck for superior alignment, and they're available in hardened steel or with a TIN (Titanium Nitride) coating for reduced friction during the sizing stroke. This means less stress on your cases, longer case life, and more consistent neck runout from round to round. The included full-sizing die and neck-sizing die give you flexibility depending on your reloading workflow and whether you're sizing fired brass or maintaining precision on already-fired cases.

The competition seating die rounds out the set with Redding's renowned seating accuracy. Together, these three dies form a complete system engineered to shrink group sizes and build ammunition you can trust downrange. If you're serious about 6mm XC precision reloading, the Type S Elite is built for shooters who understand that ammunition quality directly impacts rifle performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Type S Elite Die Set for 6mm XC?

The set includes a Type S Bushing Full Sizing Die, a Type S Bushing Neck Sizing Die, and a Competition Seating Die. All dies are caliber-specific for 6mm XC.

What's the difference between full sizing and neck sizing with these dies?

The full sizing die resizes the entire case to standard dimensions, ideal for brass from different rifles or when maximum consistency is needed. The neck sizing die resizes only the case neck, which is preferred by many precision reloaders who use brass from a single rifle and want to minimize case working and extend case life.

Can I upgrade my bushings to TIN-coated?

Redding offers bushings in both hardened steel and TIN (Titanium Nitride) coated versions. The TIN coating reduces friction during the sizing stroke. You can source replacement bushings separately if you want to upgrade from the standard steel bushings.

How does the bushing system control neck tension?

The Type S bushing is interchangeable and free-floating, meaning it self-centers on the case neck as it sizes. By selecting different bushing sizes, you can adjust neck tension in 0.001" increments, giving you precise control over how tightly the case neck grips the bullet without over-working the brass.
