The Hornady Match Grade Neck Size Die, 6mm PPC (Hornady part no. 544253) sizes only the case neck instead of the full case body, eliminating excessive headspace and keeping the bullet perfectly aligned with the bore for match shooters running 6mm PPC. Because it works the brass less than a full-length die, cases also tend to last longer between resizings.

Key Specifications

• Machined specifically for 6mm PPC.
• Sizes only the case neck, not the full case body, for better bullet-to-bore alignment.
• Designed to be used only in bolt-action rifles; auto-loading, lever, and pump actions typically need full-length resizing.
• Reduces case working compared to full-length sizing, which can mean longer case life.
• Must be cleaned before first use to remove the factory rust preventative coating.
• Requires lubricating case necks, inside and out, before resizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this in a semi-auto rifle? No, neck sizing dies like this are meant for bolt-action rifles only. Auto-loading, lever, and pump-action rifles typically need full-length resizing.

Does neck sizing improve accuracy? Yes, it can improve alignment between the bullet and the bore, which is why many precision shooters neck-size their brass.

What do I need to do before using a new die? Clean off the factory rust preventative coating, then lubricate the case necks inside and out before resizing.
