You could be correct on the .200 line, I've never neck sized or built a die this way.
Erik Cortina say's he doesn't harden his dies...? he also claims he's never worn one out, he's been running a Shehane for years now.
Erik Cortina has a lot of good info out there but I gotta go with L.Sherm on this one because over built is better in most things.Its just one more step that won't make it worse.
It was just a thought/ wonder I had.
But you lost me now on being able to make a sizing die from a chamber reamer?
Was suppose to say seating die, fat fingered it
I was planning on using my Lee '06 seater for this one. They're parallel bored and I confirmed with Lee that this case will fit in there an work.
If for some reason I have issues, like inconsistent seat depth, I figured I'd have a seater made from a ptg blank and my chamber reamer. That should keep the case very concentric to the seater plug if all is done correctly, I would think!
I'm going to go with Manson and have a resizer reamer made as well. Also going to order a PTG die blank. They said 2 weeks on that, so maybe I'll get it about the same time as my Manson reamers 
JGS sounds awesome too, but the price would be way way up there.
I sent my print proposal to Manson with some questions to discuss, so now I just have to wait to hear back.
Now I just need to convince Peterson to sell me some untrimmed 284 cases so I can have a longer neck

The nice thing is that the smith I'm having do this is also going to make my die. He makes his own dies for a variant of Litz's Enabler cartridge.
I really like working with this guy... He's been awesome so far and a breathe of fresh air compared to the rest of all the service providers I've dealt with in 2021.

I have been waiting for my reamer ordered on 10/8/21 I had to blow the dust off the email to see the date but you know what the dog said when he got his tail caught in the fan(It won't be long now)
Don't wanna try the Newlon blanks?Also going to order a PTG die blank. They said 2 weeks on that, so maybe I'll get it about the same time as my Manson reamers
I thought about it but he said he uses the ptg blanks all the time and they work well for a regular FL die
Have you considered wilson inline blanks?
The beauty of those are you can seat everything long take it to the range and do seating tests right at your bench instead of loading a bunch of rounds and possible later having to pull them apart.

I'm sure they work just fine when you get them
I've contemplated a Lee hand press for seating depths at the range.
