6-6.5x47 Lapua busing sizes

[deepcreekt6]

I want to build a 6 x 47 Lapua and will be ordering the Redding 6.5x47 Lapua "S" dies.

Questions: What are the recommended busings I need to neck the 6.5 x 47 Lapua brass down to 6mm?

Any information would be appreciated.

I need to replace my key board...........I have to hit the "H" hard on the key board in order for it to take.

Bushings...............

I think you would be better off buying a 6x47 Lapua FL sizing die from Forster, or Redding and just running the 6.5x47 into it with one pass... A bushing die will not close the neck all the way to the shoulder... If you decide to use the S die you'll need to know the neck size of the reamers thats used on the chamber before you'll be able to find the correct bushing...

Will do,

Much thanks for the help.

Plus one to Preachers post, I bought the Forster FL die, and took the expander ball/stem out and sized the 6.5 brass to 6 MM, then used a Sinclair 6MM expander mandrel on the cases for my no turn neck 6X47 with a .273 neck.

Once they are fire formed do you resize with a bushing die? If so what size bushing do you use?

Thanks, Jason

Jason, yes I use a Redding "S" match neck die with a .269 bushing installed giving me about .0015 neck tension. This is for once fired brass. Then I FL size from then on also annealing the cases as well.

Redding has 6x 47 Lapua "S" dies. Cat. III #77489 FL and #71489 Neck. You need to measure your loaded shell for the proper bushing size. Redding web page will tell you how to choose.

I have Redding Type S Match Bushing Neck Die Set that I use for my no turn neck 6x47L.

I run the new 6.5x47L brass though the body die then though the neck bushing die with a .268 bush.
Start with the neck die high and sneak up on a crush fit so the cases fireform correctly.
Load and shoot.

After they are fired just neck size load and shoot!
