6x47 lapua dies ?

[cooperman223]

This summer i am putting together a 6x47 lapua based on a savage target action, i have not decided yet on barrel choice, i am thinking of a shilen or pac-nor.
I know i will have to buy 6.5x47 brass and neck down to 6mm,
is this done in one go or stages ?
Which dies are you finding work better for this ?
For my .223 and .243 i am using redding S type with interchangeable bushes to control neck tension without having to full length re-size, can i do the same with the 6x47.
Thanks,

Your best bet is the Forster 6x47L BR die set, one pass will neck em down...
FL sizing every time will keep things more consistent....

i sized mine down in one step w/ a forster neck die. you may need to fl size your brass or might get by with jst bumping the shoulder. it jst depends on your chamber. i havn't had to do this with mine yet as they still chamber okay, but if i can find a fl die i'll proly jst go ahead and fl size then fire form again.

it would be a good idea to go ahead and get on a backorder list from somewhere. i still have not been able to find a forster fl die and would be glad to take one off someones hands.

I also 2nd the Forester FL die to make the 6mmx47L from the 6.5 version.

However, after its fireformed, I use the Redding FL Busing die and get the same neck tension everytime using the carbide bushing.

I also use the Forster FL die,005265), but only to get down to 6mm. I remove the expander top and don't use it at all. I use a custom FL die cut with my reamer. It is like a Redding S type with the bushings. Sid Goodling makes these dies along with the whole rifle. Excellent gunsmith.
