[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2571459, member: 101791"] One other thing is you'll need to step the bushing down, otherwise you could possible crush the case in changing the neck to a smaller caliber. My 6mm/280AI I am having to step down 4 times to achieve the neck size I want. A couple other things. Cut all your cases to the same length. If you cut your necks for thickness do it before sizing down. That way you don't create a donut. I also think the 280AI case is catching on due to it being a little longer to the shoulder for more power. Now I don't know if you are cutting your necks or not for thickness. The 280AI Redding FL busing die is what I use. I just change out bushing. Actually I got 4 Redding bushing dies to set up the steps, that way I didn't to take apart the die to change out the bushing. The de-priming shaft is larger as the case dimension are increased in calibers. I end up getting additional de-capping rod assemblies from Graf & Son to cover that problem. To answer your question on reamers. You can have them built. Be careful on your neck chamber size. If cutting neck for thickness. .013" is the standard. Can be thicker than that, but not recemented to cut to less than .013" either. [/QUOTE]
