[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2583215, member: 101791"] Now days the bushing die has move everything on. No longer have to have a special die made in most cases. In fact I wouldn't get a no-bushing sizing die again. You just change out bushing from on caliber to another with AI shoulders. Depending on what you are sizing too. I use a 280AI FL Redding sizing die to 6mm. The de-primer rod assembly has to be changed out, because the rod is to large to fit in 6mm neck. A 6mm rod won't thread into 280AI die rod assembly. It's smaller. I use my 25/06 bushing die rod assembly and threaded into the 280AI die. That works! In stepping down to 6mm, I had to use 4 different bushing to achieve the final sizes. the one thing I did get was Peterson 280AI case to start with, so that made it easier from the start. From here I looking at doing two things. Having a 25/280AI chamber rifle built. and having another action set up with shorten barrels to do my fire forming. I already have a 6mm/280AI reamer, and now going to get 25/280AI reamer built. If I was just going to use for a standard (or to me) 25/06, 270, 30/06 case I would get just whatever in those sizes cases to fire form. Being the 280AI case is about .1" to the shoulder longer, I was a little afraid that it would be to much to stretch those case into 280AI length to the shoulder. Maybe somebody can tell me if a 270, 30/06 will work for 280AI cases length to the shoulder. I am not totally sure, and don't have the knowledge if they can be substituted or not. [/QUOTE]
