I've used and seen plenty, just never had a use for one that small.Guess you have never seen a wheel cylinder hone.
Time for a trip to NAPA.

Agree, but since Forster offers it as a service for like $10, I'm guessing it is not rocket science!You can't just hone out a FL die there hardened.
Thats for necks and I bet they do it before they harden the dieAgree, but since Forster offers it as a service for like $10, I'm guessing it is not rocket science!
My exact 280AI experience with the Redding die being way to tight and the Hornady being perfect. I put so much pressure on the case that on the second firing, with a .002 bump, 3 out of five cracked in the center of the case. Bought a hornady die. A now it's the most accurate gun I haveI also used Redding comp dies on my son's 280a.i. with similar results.
The relationship between chamber and die is excessive and you end up sizing too much. It likely over works the brass, leading to a lot of trimming after a few firings. Then the shoulder moves into the neck and you end up creating a donut.
On my son's rifle, the donut arrived on some 2x fired and all on 3rd firing. I used mandrels to force the donut to the outside and turned necks + a bit more in the shoulder. I used pin gauges and tubing mic to verify all was well. It took a lot of time and was a PITA.
I knew it would happen again down the line, so I shopped for new brass and bought a sizer from Forester and Hornady. Returned the Forester and kept the Hornady, as it sized the shoulder only .002" and .0025" above the web. Turned the necks and everything worked out fine, some are on 5th firing and very little trim has been needed & no donuts.
Just my experience!
