Tight Neck 6BR Die Suggestion?

[ridgeway]

What factory FL die would one recommend for a tight neck,.262) 6BR? Would the Forster FL die work with tight neck chambers? Or would it be better to go with a Redding Type S FL with a bushing size of .259?

ridgeway,

Go with the Redding f/l bushing die, or Harrells bushing die, I have both). For a .262' neck chamber the brass should be turned to 0.260'. Then I use a .258' for 0.002' grip on the bullet.

Thanks for the suggestion Mark. I got in contact with Forster and they finish the 6mmBR FL die neck at .261'. They will make a custom die for $88, but the customer must supply the reamer.

Yes and the reamer must be a resize reamer not a chamber reamer.

I've had great success with my Redding bushing die. I'm neck sizing for a .265 chamber.
