[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2816770, member: 1521"] Not sure how you would do this without a forming die. A standard bushing die only sizes ~3/4 of a neck. A custom die can have a one piece neck and shoulder bushing. But each of those would be expensive. A FL die could do it, but I would want to increment size at least one cal between, with 2 annealings. You also should know your chamber neck dimension, measure your 8x68 brass neck thickness, calculate thickness change with so much downsizing, and final thickness/clearance desired, and turn the necks for that -before any sizing (while you can get a good turning mandrel fit). I can help with calculations. There may be more to this, and more expense than you want to get into. [/QUOTE]
