[QUOTE="dirtball, post: 496788, member: 7344"] [FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]The Redding type s dies are usually over bored at the neck a little, if a 6.5 x 284 case will go in the 6 x 284 die with NO bushing in it and not scratch or mar the neck, it should work. I have a 30 STW that I load with a 7 STW type S sizer and a bigger bushing. The 6 x 284 seating will NOT work, I would suggest a Forster Micrometer Seater. Absolutely the best die for the money IMHO.

Then depending on whether you are going to load single shot or use a mag how much neck tension you want. With a single shot I usually subtract .002 and .003 and order those to start with. The BEST way is to borrow some from a friend and try them. Dave[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
