Dies for 20 BR

Hypothetical scenario here:

Let's say that I might have a spare 20cal Pac-Nor sitting in the safe and I'm wanting to build a mag fed 20 BR on a Savage action.

I don't have any other BR chamberings or reloading dies. I would want to use Redding bushing style dies....I'm thinking maybe a Type S neck die, Comp. seater and a body die.

What dies,20,22 or 6mm BR) would you buy to keep cost down? Will I need to order any die parts,other than bushings)?

Thanks in advance!
 
Thanks for the info sir!

I have no plans on using an expander. This idea would only be used on the local coyote population so extreme accuracy isn't neccesary...minute of 'yote will do just fine!

I'm leaning towards the 22 BR dies as I've always wanted to try that chambering as well. Would I be okay using the Type S neck die and body die? I do have the equipment to turn necks if that helps.

One other question: Will the decap assembly fit inside the necks or will I have to get a smaller size through Redding? Oh, I also decap primers prior to sizing using a universal Redding decapping die.

Thanks again!

Edit: Got to thinkin'....does anyone see a problem with leaving out the form/trim die step and just using a .250" bushing to start and then step down from there? Afterwards, cases could be run through the body die....will that get rid of the "donut" on the outside? Have plenty of bushings in the .250" range......

Sorry, I think too much
