Since you are not turning necks and you have a NT chamber - my bad - you can ignore my comment about reamer/chamber neck diameter. Bill's post/suggestion about bushing and mandrels is a good start. I know some that also add a .266 bushing to their collection..267 - .268 bushing and .241 -242 mandrel works with unturned Lapua brass for me.
