Thanks guys. Die comes standard with a .260 neck think I will go with .265 , should get me close.

What dimension does Forster send out on their non honed dies?

0.260” is factory non honed dimension.
0.268” maximum honed size in 6br.

I guess that.260 factory non honed size was to take care of the older .268 chambers that took neck turned brass.
That really was a question I had above about if the die is working the neck four to six thousandths too much in diameter each time, how does that really affect the life span of the necks? I wasn’t just trying to blow it off.

Not for sure how much it affects brass life but you can feel the difference when resizing. I would assume you are less apt to upset shoulder bump with less resistance.
