6br neck bushing

[686]

for a non turned 6br. would you use a .269 bushing or a .272 in your neck sizer? i just got a 6br that is not a tight neck but the person was using .269 redding neck bushing.if it works is it ok or should i try a biger size bushing ?

I just measured my loaded rounds and they are .269 so you should be good to go. As the brass necks get work hardened, you might need to go to a little smaller bushing. Trial and error.

This may be a bit mroe than you asked for, but learning how to get to an answer is often worth the effort.
