Reloading 6.5 x 47 Lapua

I have a 6.5 x 47 Lapua on order and want to start get the getting reloading supplies. I will be using the Redding Type S match die set. Can someone who uses this tell me what size busing is recommended. Thanks
 
dlong,

In measuring a bunch of factory ammo here in the office, I'm seeing the necks of loaded rounds running at .2885". I'd start off with a .287" and .286" and see what sort of results you have here. for the record, I always pick up the bushings on either side of whatever final dimension I settle on. That is, .001" above and .001" below the final bushing, just to give myself some options with other lots of brass, to accomodate some hardening of the necks with use, that sort of thing.
