[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 121549, member: 4686"] Setting up for either 30-06 or 30-06 Ackley. I should have my new 26" Lilja 30 cal barrel arriving w/in the next few weeks. Then i'm having Ian Jensen, gunsmith at Barnes Bullets chamber, threat and mount it in my "lightened" Rem 700 action. Still undecided on 30-06 or 30-06 Ackley. That's not my topic of this post. After much research, I've decided to try and following Abinooks's musing about Lee collet dies. So, by the numbers. I use the Lee collet die in 30-06 for seating. Tear it apart when it arrives, check it over for burrs and remove any if they exist; lube and reassemble. Probably order the extra decapping mandrels in sizes .3045" and .3035" if needed later. Eventually order a Redding body sizing die for controling shoulder length when needed. Take my Forster Ultra seater in 30-06 and if I go w/ the Ackely version, have Forster send me a new floating chamber in Ackley. Did get it correclty? [/QUOTE]
