Making a sizing die?

[Bobcat]

I have a Forster bushing bump neck sizing die in 6br. Is there any reason why i can,t use my 6bra chambering reamer to put a 40 degree shoulder angle on the 6 br die and then use it to resize 6bra brass?

If it’s case hardened, which it probably is, your reamer will not cut it.

Thanks for the reply. I see your point. I was thinking there would be an advantage to having a die close to the the actual chamber size. Maybe not. I don,t know. From what I have read,Harrells can make them to specific sizes. If I sent the reamer drawing, could they make it off the print?

Send them 3 cases that have been loaded and fired 3 or 4 times and NECK SIZED ONLY for each reload. They will supply a die that minimally resizes your brass to fit your chamber which may actually be larger than the dimensions on your reamer print.

Thanks for your help. I think I will do that.
