Dies for 6mm/257 WBY
Do any of you guys know where I would be able to have dies made for this wildcat?

RCBS don't make them.................

Thanks,

Blair.

I'd be for getting a hold or Redding

Pretty much a 6 Arnold there I would guess.

Mark,

Yeah it is pretty much a 6 Arnold. The local agent for Redding reckons they don't make dies for this wildcat!

He suggested Hornady.

Thanks guys.

I'd call both Redding and RCBS I can't for the life of me imagine they won't make it.

A bud of mine shoots a 6 Arnold, heck of a round.

I've used a 6/06 for years, nothing like a big 6!

Another option for a simple neck-down job is to use an off-the-shelf Redding bushing die in 257 Weatherby with the appropriate-sized 6mm bushing.

Hi,
PSECO run by John Giles lists this chambering.His ph. no. is 07 33988222.
He might be able to help with dies here in Australia.
As a side note I have a set of RCBS dies in 6.17 Lazzeroni flash and 59 new brass if you are interested.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Regards.

hjl,

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't thought of John Giles thumb

Mark,

Spoke to Patrick Ryan at Redding. Really nice bloke and very helpful, but as they don't have the tooling, it's $500US. Ouch Big Grin

Thanks guys.

CH4D Dies would most likely work too!
[740] 397-7214. Dave Davson is probably the most savvy person on the planet about wildcat dies!
