[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 523791, member: 25383"] I was quoted a price of about $165 from Forster a couple years ago, and Lee quoted me a price for a Collet die set at $135. How close does a once fored case come to the drawing in the Hodgdon powder manual? I see: .500 at the base .475 at the shoulder .276 neck diamer (loaded) 2.170" overall length 1.775" to the shoulder @ 35 degrees .270" neck length you should be able to use a standard .284 bushing die with a .273" bushing for starters. A generic .284 bump die to set the shoulders back, and you will need a dedicated 6/284 seater. You could even full length size with a standard .284 die, and then size the necks with a bushing die in a pinch. gary [/QUOTE]
