22 Creedmoor dies

[Scouter]

I was planning on using a Redding 6.5 Creedmoor body die and a custom Lee collet neck die with this cartridge.

Any reason that won't work?

Thanks for any response.

Are u necking down brass to 22 creedmoor or buying actual 22 creedmoor head stamped brass? If you are necking down I just bought standard 22 creedmoor Hornady die and ripped expander ball out as I run a mandrel to set neck tension. If necking down that bushing die will leave a nasty doughnut as it doesn't size the entire length if the neck. Had zero issues with the Hornady FL die inducing any run out issues. I also found that best seater so far is a Forster 6 creedmoor when running the heavy 22 bullets. If running actual 22 creed brass the 6.5 type s will be just fine with correct bushing.

I've got alpha 22 creedmoor brass and will use the 6.5 creedmoor body die. Thanks for your help
