[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 451878, member: 25383"] I think I'd have the gunsmith ream me a sizing die off a Newlon die blank (chrome moly!), and ream a Forster seater sleeve at the same time. That is if you are going with the 6mm Ackley. You can buy a Redding 6mmAI for more money than a custom shop Forster (cut to your cases). Another route is to use Wilson dies with a Redding body die (you will need a way to bump the shoulder back every four firings). And even cheaper route would be to start off with a .257AI bushing die. You might end up shaving a small amount off of the base of the die (maybe .04"), but you'd at least start out in the ball park. This is a standard die set with Forster, thus saving you some money. Remember that with an Ackley (or most any enlargement of the shouder) the case length is going to shrink a few thousandths. gary [/QUOTE]
