Forster Fl Die

[ODIN]

I just received me Forster ultima Die set...........They are stamped 6mm BR Rem, I checked their web site and I don't see the 6 MM BR Norma listed.

I just read a couple of thread that mention that the 6MM BR rem is OK because it passes the over the whole neck. But what about the larger base diameter of the 6MM Br Norma,Lapua Brass)

Am I just not getting it? Or Did I order the wrong Die Set?

Does Forster or Redding make the FL 6mm BR Norma die? Is there a part number I should use?

I am sure this has been discussed before but I have not been able to find the threads using the search function.

Thanks for your guidance.

Thank you Treeman

Here is what I read on this site that has me concerned...

What Brass Should I Use?
Use Lapua brass. None better. Make sure your gunsmith chambers for the Lapua brass dimensions, not 6mm BR Remington brass or Norma brass.

So if chambering to the Lapua brass is important, why is sizing to the Remington dimensions OK?

I am sending dummy rounds to the barrel maker, I want to be sure I am not asking for something I don't want.

I guess the real question I should be asking is, What does the 6 mm BR Rem Full Length die, do to the unfired Lapua Brass that is undesirable?

I got the Ultra seater die from Forster, and even though they state it is 6mmBR Remington, it is stated 6mm BR Remington,Norma). It's just stating that it's for the designated name of the catridge's original name, but is actually made for the modern version that is the Norma version.
