RCBS has announced it will begin shipping the 6mm ARC Small Base Taper Crimp Die Set, a new addition to the AR Series line of dies for progressive reloaders. The 6mm ARC SB T/C Die Set (#28007), is specially designed for the versatile 6mm ARC cartridge, which utilizes efficient, high ballistic-coefficient bullets to deliver top performance from AR-15 rifles. Each set features a Small Base die that sizes the case to slightly below minimum specifications, to ensure each round chambers in an AR-style rifle, and a Taper Crimp seating die to put the correct crimp on the case. This combination helps make handloading easier for shooters and ensures the cartridge will rechamber properly. For more information on this die set, perfect for handloading ammunition for your favorite 6mm ARC-chambered hunting AR, please visit rcbs.com. MSRP: $53.51
