I use the Redding dies.

Thanks. I use a Redding Type S with bushing for neck sizing my .233. Can I use a larger bushing for neck sizing the 6x45 or do I have to buy a whole new die? I know I need a full-sizer die with a tapered expander.
 
6mm-223 and 6x45 same thing. You will find out redding will have same as hornady. If you order one from redding you will have to get a different seating stem. When I got the redding 6mm-223 dies I could not set the 60-75gr bullets that I wanted to shoot deep enough and called them and they sent me a different stem.
 
I know this is an old thread but was going to build a 6x45 was gonna order redding dies should I order a 3 die set or just the 2 die set or the other option I saw was the short base die set.
 
I run the redding 2 die set. One thing you will need is if they have not started yet is to change the seating stem out. I had to do it in order to seat the 70gr bullets for the ar. I don't remember exactly what the part # was but I called redding and they sent me what I needed at no charge. Have never ran into a need for the small base dies. And I use alot of range brass for the 6x45.
 
I currenly do intial forming with a Sinclair expander ms ndrel. I use a Redding FL Type S bushing die leaving the decapping rod in place with the pin holder button not the expander. Ni use a Hornady 6 MM seater for thst chore.

Before I discovered the bushing dies I used Hornady 6X223 dies for my three rifles. I have two sets of them. I bought my first ine in 1989 or so.

I'm in no hurry I'm going to order my barrel next week from BHW so its going to be a wile for that anyways plus its cheaper from precision. Thanks though I checked midway first.
