If you had to choose dies

[Justin B]

Done a ton of reading on this and I think there are 3 options and I can't decide on the dies.
22 BR with a .253 neck barrel Shilen on order through Northland. (I would like to not neck turn if possible!!!)
Going to use Lapua 6BR brass so

Option 1. Run through FL 22BR die then run through a FL 6BR Redding bushing die what bushings not sure yet??

Option 2. Run through FL 22BR die then order a Forster die custom honed to my reamer specs (do I even need to run it through a FL 22BR die first if I do this??) Lead times for Die??

Option 3. Just run it through a FL 22BR die and see how close neck is and go with that??

Any help would be great pretty antsy to get this caliber up and going I have a few 20 Practicals and a 22/250 I just sold so I plan on using this 90% on Pdogs & ground rats

I’ve had great luck using A modified version of your second option. Load a couple bullets into your brass, take a measurement, and call Forster and order the sizing die with a neck honed .003” smaller than your loaded OD of your neck. You may want to have them shave .010” off the bottom of the die before they sent it to you too. I have a couple that I needed to grind down the shell holder, because they wouldn’t size the brass down enough. I found that Forster‘s dies are great as far as concentricity goes. They are my go-to die from now on!
