What bushing size do I need??

Looking at ordering a neck sizing bushing for my Redding die and would like to know what size to start off with. I will be using the "New" Lapua 6BR brass. I was figuring around the .268 or do I need to look at a different size??

I usually always "Clean" the necks of all my brass by a light skim with the cutter usually taking about 1/2 to 2/3s of the neck with the cut. The chamber will be a "No turn" .2705 Thanks!!
 
I'm currently using a .267 bushing with "new" Lapua brass (no turning). This provides a light tension enough to hold 68gr Bergers. I did have to use a .266 bushing on some "custom" 67 gr bullets just to hold the bullet in the case. If you are clean-up turning your necks you will need to adjust accordingly
