    6x47L sizing help

    Hi - so I bought a nice 6x47L rifle from @The Claw/ well pleased with it. Anyway it came with some 6.5x47L brass of which there is some that is sized (I think he used a .266 bushing) and unfired. I can't seat projectiles in this brass with my little arbor press - the necks are just too tight. If I run them through a die with an expander that should help?

    I only have a set of Wilson hand dies and an arbor press so I am going to get a single stage press which I have needed for a while (stupidly sold my Rockchucker a while back) so I will need some 7/8 sizing dies. I am going to get some more brass as well so I will be having to size down some more anyway soon. So do I get a Forster Full Length die or a Forster Neck Bushing/Shoulder Bump Kit - The full length die SHOULD be better for initial sizing down from 6.5 eh?
