Forming 6.5 06AI advise

[TTE]

Looking for the best procedure to form 6.5 06AI from Lapua 30 06 brass. I have formed brass previously from 30 06 Norma brass. However they are not as expensive as Lapua brass. Just want to make sure I am not missing any steps so I reduce possible failures as much as I can. -

What I have been doing -
1- FL size with an 30 06 die (expander removed)
2- Run the 06 case into a 280 Rem. die as far as possible (with expander installed)
3- Run the case in a 270 WInchester die as far as possible (expander installed)
4- Trim to 2.500 ... deburr and chamfer
5 - Run case in a 264 neck sizer (expander installed) only far enough to create a false shoulder for fire forming.
6- Trim, deburr and chamfer to fire forming length
I don;t remember when I neck turned them, before or after fire forming (it's been a year or so).

My inquiry previously about annealing before starting the re forming process was ... ' can't hurt'

Am I covering all the steps needed for success ?

Thanks for your reply.

I just neck down to the 6.5 size i want with some decent neck tension(.003) and back off about 3 gr from my final load and put them into the lands pretty hard and fire away. I dont trim length untill ive got 2 firings on them most end up around 2.500- 2.512. I trimming back to 2.50
I turn my necks to within about a .0005 of final dia. then skim to my final dia. after they have been shot once
