6BR Bushing size

[bowfisher]

Got a new ( to me ) 6BR. Gonna use Norma brass that I don't have in possession yet. Just got my Redding FL S dies in...question is what size bushings?? I won't have the brass for a week, and would like to get the bushings ordered if anyone can make a good WAG at what size(s) I need. Thx

Bowfisher, Do you know what size neck? That would help determine the bushing size. Hog

Hey Hog, don't have it in front of me, but pretty sure it's a .271

if you are doin a NO TURN bbl....then the brass thickness is the most important factor ....I would get a .266 if Redding and a .265 if Wilson....the Redding are good but usually not what they are marked...they usually run "tite"....Roger
PS the Wilson are tapered and you get two sizes for the price of one..!!

I'm shooting a no turn neck and using Redding bushings. I use a .267 bushing for Berger 68gr and BIB 67 gr bullets. I also have some Hottenstein style bullets that need a .266 bushing to hold them in place.
