Hornady Match Grade Neck Size Die 6mm PPC

Hornady Match Grade Neck Size Die for 6mm PPC

Neck sizing represents a significant step forward in precision reloading, particularly for dedicated bolt-action rifle shooters who demand the highest levels of accuracy and case longevity.

How Neck Sizing Works

Unlike full-length resizing, neck sizing only sizes the case neck—the portion that holds the bullet. This approach offers distinct advantages:

• Eliminates excessive headspace that can develop with repeated full-length resizing
• Aligns bullets perfectly with the bore for improved accuracy
• Extends case life significantly by reducing unnecessary work-hardening
• Maintains consistent chamber fit for tighter, more predictable groups

Important Considerations

This die is designed exclusively for bolt-action rifles. Semi-automatic rifles (auto-loading lever and pump action designs) typically require full-length resizing to ensure reliable feeding and extraction.

Setup and Maintenance

Before first use, thoroughly clean the die with a commercial solvent to remove the factory-applied rust preventative. Hornady One Shot Cleaner and Dry Lube works well for this purpose.

Always lubricate case necks inside and out before resizing. Adjust the die carefully in quarter-turn increments, lowering it until the entire neck is sized—but avoid excessive pressure that could buckle cases. Once properly adjusted, lock the die ring securely in place.

This is a tool for the serious reloader who understands that precision begins with proper case preparation.
