6.5 X 47 Lapua Full Length Sizing Dies

[shcal]

In the process of a new rifle build for a 6.5X47L and looking at dies. I've used both Redding Type S and Forster FL Dies. Who has used them for this cartridge and which do you like best? Let's hear some opinions and reasons.
Thanks, shcal.

OK, so no one is jumping in. I'll ask a few questions. If you go with the Forster FL dies and hone the necks what size finish neck do you like for tension on non-molly bullets. If with the Redding type S, what bushing sizes do you recommend.

I'm in the process of getting all of the components together to build a 6.5x47L. I was thinking a Redding body die to get the brass prepped for the first firing then send it off to JLC for their bushing and honing to fit treatment. As for bushing size id get them for size of the finished round -.002,-.003,-.004

I use Redding match dies and I use the neck die for both a 6.5 and a 6 mm, just change bushings. For the 6.5 I use the body die that came with the set and use it to full length and bump the shoulder back 1.5 thousands......For the 6mm I use an RCBS competetion 308 full length die to size the body of the brass. Then I use a 6br body die,adjusted right) to push the shoulder back 1.5 thousands.....Also I use the Redding micrometet bullet seater for both the 6 and 6.5.....It works for me.

I needed loading dies so I checked with Forster today. The inside neck dimenison on their FL sizing die is .2845 to .2850. They suggested that I try this because they have had good feedback on this neck dimesion.
