What 6mm TCU/6X45 AI die options?

Well I received my MGM 24" 10 tw Contender barrel and am starting to reload and hit a snag first thing! I used an expander mandrel to open up new Lapua .223 cases and when I used my planned .223AI bushing size die to push the shoulder/neck junction back a bit it resized my neck back down excessively. Pushed the mandrel back through and the neck/shoulder junction opened back up and case wouldn't chamber, .010" too long. Understand this is in a break open and I don't have any mechanical camming action to assist closing. If the die bushing opening were just .010" larger I could make it work but.... HELP!
 
Or trim your shell holder or 6 TCU die a few thousand or what ever you determine you need .
Pm me if instruction needed , I've got 4 TCU , 2 , 6x 45 , and a 6x223 45 degree .

PM Fredo,

He has a 6x223AI and has his dies all worked out, he might be able to steer you in the right direction.
