Necking Down and Resizing 6x47 Lapua Cases?

I just looked..... your cases made with a sizing die will look like post #38

And the ones made with a stepped die are in post #84
 
I decided to give the 6x47L a go because it seemed much easier to form brass for than a Dasher. Most everything I read said to get the Forster FL die, which I did, however another reloader told me to take the expander ball off of the stem then get a 21st Century expander die with Tn turning mandrel for a .002 neck tension. He told me that by taking the expander ball off the size die and using the expander die for neck tension that my runout would be low and so far my runout has been zero or very close to zero. I’ve always used the Lee Collet die for low runout and great neck tension but a custom collet die was expensive and so far I’m really impressed with this procedure.
On another note I’m wishing I’d went Dasher instead of the 6x47L. I did find new brass shot fine first time but also had a hard time finding a load that shot 1/2 moa consistently. Reason I wish that I’d went Dasher is the guys shooting it have all found it easy to find a load that shot well and, as some have said, I have found the 6x47L rather finicky.
