[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1284038, member: 90080"] I'm quite aware that I don't need .005" of neck clearance. I normally try to run 3-4 thou of clearance. As this is a no turn neck, I didn't plan on turning at all. I put a false shoulder on the necks of the rounds for fireforming instead of jamming the bullet into the lands (at the time, I didn't have a chamber to measure and needed to make some rounds for my smith to smooth throat and barrel prior to nitriding). I didn't turn the the .280 brass, because I figured there was going to be a big change in dimensions blowing case out to to Sherman specs. I think I know what I'm doing, I just needed a die that will size the fired necks down just enough to expand with my K&M mandrel and do a skim turn to improve neck thickness variation on my Norma brass. I will then use my Whidden dies to bump shoulder and size neck with bushing, so I don't foresee "a high turnover rate of excessively sized brass". I talked to Hornady tech this morning and he confirmed their generic 6.5 neck sizer would do the job & was ideal for a variety of 6.5 wildcats. So, I hope my problem is solved. [/QUOTE]
