[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2389415, member: 116181"] 6-280 AI? What's the chamber going to be set to for neck thickness? Depending on that you could ream out with an LE Wilson trimmer to solve potential donut issues instead of turning. I don't think you're doing anything wrong - it looks like the bushing die is working correctly and not sizing the full length of the neck. The benefit of using the bushing die is you can step down, but you can't fully resize the case unless you have an FL die. Do you have a 6mm neck die? Not a bushing neck die, something like a cheap-o Hornady 46041 fixed 6mm neck only die. Or a FL die for another 6mm that the 280 body will fit inside of and you can back off to just hit the neck? I've heard of guys using WSSM FL dies to finish necked down wildcats because everything fits up into the body, especially in the 223 and 243s. I also don't see why if the case fits the chamber you couldn't load it and shoot it to set the shoulder, then resize with the 280AI die and smaller bushing going forward. If the thickness isn't a problem every other bushing diel sizes the same way, that part of the neck just doesn't expand as much when you fire. [/QUOTE]
