What dies for a SAAMI minimum chamber 6 X 47L?

[JayIdaho]

Will a Redding full length die be compatible with a SAAMI min. spec chamber? A Redding techie told me,SHOT Show) that they make the dies .003 SMALLER than SAAMI minimum chamber dimensions. That is for the body diameters, the neck is a different story.
I want to order a SAAMI min. spec 6-47L reamer but I'll go with a .266 or .268 neck, depending on neck thickness of new brass, when it arrives.

thanks for your comments.

Jay I believe that F/L die would be fine. I use the F/L "S type" Match die for my 6mmAR and a .268 bushing. It works fine for me.

If you start with a one piece die, and size a piece of two of well fired brass,the more times the better) bumping the shoulder back .001, you will have a good starting point for ordering a reamer that makes a perfect fit with the die. You can decide what clearance you want between the FL sized round and the chamber as well as how much neck tension. I usually like to set up so that I have .002 with the expander and .003 without.,.001 of expansion won't hurt a thing.) This saves a lot of trouble. Making a reamer to a die is a lot easier than the other way around. I have done a half a dozen of these...very straight ammo. The trick, when dealing with a caliber such as this, is talking someone out of a couple of old fired cases. This might be the best place for that.
