6br setting die for 6bra

Seating... Will it work? Also forster 6br bushing bump die, can I use it as a neck sizer inntil i get a custom die? Just an idea for a temporary solution..
 
A 6 Dasher seating die will work. I suppose a neck sizer die from a 6 Dasher would work too, but it would only size a portion of the neck length.
A 6BR die should interfere on the shoulder and body once the brass has fire-formed.
 
Just to get 3x fired brass ready for harrels.. not possible to screw the die up enough not to touch the shoulders and bushingdown so at least a small part of the neck is sized holding the bullet? The 6br seater will not work?

I’m not sure if your idea will work or not. Here’s where I explained how I did this in another thread http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/fired-brass-for-custom-sizer-die.4004169/ . I’m pretty sure you’re going to need the Dasher seating die.

Really you don't need to send them case's if you have a 6Bra based off off wheeler reamer just call an tell them send you a die BRA number 3 an your done then all you have to do is get a seater.
 
Your good to go call Harrell an tell them you need a BRA number 3.

‘Called Harrels to order a #3. He asked if I had a turn or no turn chamber. I told him about the reamer and I believe it is a no turn. He was talking about taking some off in the neck of the die up to .672.. not sure I follow. Ordering tomorrow. What to say? :)
 
He was talking about opening the neck up so you won't be sizing neck without a bushing he just want to make sure you have clearance.
If you have the print just tell what the neck is on the print.

I am starting to suspect I am being sent a tight neck reamer. Reamer spec on neck I am being told is .2680. Loaded rounds with lapua cases is .2680... for Prs, a chamber with close tolerances like this (and turned necks) will lead to malfunctions?

I did order normal 6bra reamer wheeler spec. After a Google search I see Wheeler did use .2680. Guess I will have to buy neck turning tools.

Yes youll need to turn the necks. Youll need about .003-.004 clearance for prs
 
The reamer JGS stocks is my 6BRA #1 reamer, it does have a .268 neck. If you want a no turn version, just ask for a 6BRA #1 with a .272 or .273 neck on it, no other changes. You will need to wait for it to be made, they dont stock them.

thank you! The reamer is here in a week or two. Have ordered a 21 century neck turning lathe to make the process as easy as possible. I figured I would turn down three thousands to .2650 and seat with a .2630 bushing. Would that be a good starting point?
