Harrels vs whidden fl size for 6 bra .268 neck?

[Falfan2017]

Trying to decide on sizer die for a 6 bra with a .268 neck.
I'm familiar with whidden bushing dies and have used them successfully with a .284. Using an expander mandrel instead of the ball.
Should I stick with the whidden bushing or get a harrels? Would the whidden non bushing be better? If you use the harrels do you still use an expander mandrel?

Either way is good but go with fl bushing die and no expander on whatever you choose. Use a seperate expander if you need to use one.

Whidden made a sizer (bushing) and seater for me off of Wheelers reamer print (they have the print) with 268 neck and 100FB. Very pleased with them,,,,

Thanks I was wondering if they had that. I think that's what I'll go with it's the bra2 reamer.

I've never used a harrels, but Whidden has made me a few based based off my reamer prints I've sent in. They have all been perfect. I really like their click adjustable dies since I rarely anneal lately. I'm not sure why you wouldn't want the ability to be able to change neck tension, why wouldn't you get a bushing die?

Would the whidden non bushing be better?

I just got a Whidden non-bushing 6BRA die, I use the non-bushing style since I'm prepping brass in bulk on a Dillon 550 progressive press workflow with deprime, size, and expander mandrel dies all on one toolhead. The non-bushing die helps me get lower runout in the "sloppy" Dillon press.

Let me know if you want measurements of fired/sized brass from the Whidden die.
