Hello I need some help with reloading, which dies should I buy
a bushing style or a neck sizing die?

I do not have any dies as of now for 6mmPPC

I am looking to buy Redding rifle dies

How would I pick a bushing for a bushing style dies
as I have heard that I need to know how tight the neck is?
Thanks Lightning93

Try Wilson dies, your barrel should have the size stamped on the barrel. A tight chamber should be around .262, if it is you could use either a .258 or .259 collet. After shooting your brass three time you could send three cases to Harrel and they will send you a die that will fit your chamber so you will only move the brass very little and it will bump back the shoulder and your brass can be used up to a 100 times. You can find all the suppliers a Benchrest Central.com Good Luck

It really depends if it is a USA chamber or a benchrest chamber. Let us know what the history, model, etc of the gun is, and we should be able to help. FWIW, Dutch.

Thanks for the help
My gun is a Sako Vixen made in Finland
the age of the gun is unknown
It is a single shot,heavy barrel the triger guard
has two adj. holes in it

You have one of the best factory 6PPC made. You will need to get a fire case to see what bushing you will need. Those rifles were set up to shoot Sako factory loads. I would get the Redding type S die set with a neck die , body die also the seater. If you use Wilson get the oversize die. I have a 22ppc Sako like yours. Good Luck!

I have the Sako single shot in 6 PPC, S/N 091 which makes it one opf the first 100 imported into the US in 1988 by Stoeger.

It uses 6PPC USA headstamped brass and is NOT a tightnecked chamber so you will NOT have to neckturn. In fact you are advised NOT to, by Sako.

Neil Jones runs CustomProducts and will set you up with BR bushing style dies for less than $100 complete. Send him three fired cases to get the correct bushing.

See the Jan 1988 Amer. Rifleman DopeBag pg54-55 , Jamieson's review in Shooting Times Jan`88 pg34-38, Matuna's writeup in American Hunter Feb `88 pg17-20 Venturino's review in Guns & Ammo June `88 pg 74-75.

I paid $699 back then.....and it was the best money spent for the most accurate rifle I own (of 34).
