Neck Sizing the 6BR Norma

[Lapua40X]

I have a Remington 40X in 6BR Norma and a Harrell's Bushing FL Sizing Die for preparing the brass for reloading but the Harrell's die doesn't include a neck sizing expander ball. My problem is, of course, that when a neck becomes out of round it isn't possible to achieve even neck tension when seating bullets after using the FL sizing die.
I haven't been able to locate a die for neck resizing (reshaping); wondering it anyone on this forum has a suggestion on where to look for that.

I would think an expander die with an appropriate size mandrel (in your case a 6mm) would iron out any small dents or deformities. They are available from Sinclair and 21st century shooting and I guess there are others out there. I use the one from 21st century to prep my new brass etc. Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot for the input fellas. I've been reloading for a long time but have relied upon standard sets of dies so this "custom" stuff is a little over my head at the moment. This little 6br is somewhat out of the ordinary and I can't use 6mm Remington tools with it so I was stumped. I did find an expander die at Sinclair/Brownells that will do the job for me. Thanks for the offer for tel. connection Keith. Appreciate your willingness to spend some time helping me - no need to bother you now.

Glad to be of some help, you're going to love that 6br. I imagine you have already read the 6br section on this site, I find myself going back to it time and time again. Lots of good info and good people here. Good luck, Ron...

I use the K&M neck expander, the Sinclair is just a good. You can neck size only with your Harrel's if you buy a set of die shims from Sinclair. With these, you do not need to re-adjust the die for F/L sizing.
