Thinking about a Lee factory crimp die for 6AR

I have an AR15 with a 6AR (.243 LBC, 6 Grendel, etc) upper. I have been very impressed with the accuracy and performance but I was thinking of adding a Lee factory crimp die. The problem the only 2 factory crimp dies I can find that are close in dimensions are the 6BR and 6PPC. Any tips before I order one of these would be appreciated.
 
I have never crimped ar rounds. For me there is no need. Of course I don't load SHTF ammo.

Had one of Robert's 6mm ar turbo 40's. Best shooting ar I ever had and never crimped loads for it.

I have a 243 lbc barrel on order and won't be crimping. I found with a little ingenuity the new 6 arc dies do a great job necking down the brass. Just size the neck and stay off the shoulder.
 
There may be a reason they dont make a crimp die for it and only lee makes them anyway. Tune your load with extra neck tension and have fun.
