6x47 L Dies

I'm currently building a 6x47 lapua and I'm wondering what dies people are using for reloading? I've tried searching on the site and most of what I saw was people necking down 6.5 to form 6x47 brass. I'll be starting with 6x47 lapua Peterson brass if that makes a difference.
 
Can you use a forester 6 creedmoor BR seating die for 6x47 lapua? I have one already so I wanted to check
 
There is about 0.090" difference in the 47L and the Creedmore. I would be inclined to load a few rounds and then run them over a concentricity checker to see what you have wrought. I'v been using a 6mm Creedmore Lee collet die for my 6x47L. I have the Forrester FL die in which the neck is way too small as in most factory FL dies. I use the Wilson concentric hand seating die in 6x47L

I'll admit to preferring Lapua brass in spite of its warts.

Call the good folks at Forster and ask for a Seater Die Chamber for a 6x47L. They are $29. Take the die apart and switch the parts.
