You can adjust your FL die to just bump the case shoulder back .001". Wouldn't bother with neck turning unless you have a tight neck chamber.

I prefer neck and FL bushing dies (Redding and Wilson) and seating dies in those brands too. However, with my 6.5 CM I've found Wilson neck bushing hand die and seating die using an arbor press I get the least run-out of all. Anneal every firing on an AMP annealer.

I'm shooting a 6.5x55 but am having thoughts of an AI
Neck turning isnt all that hard if you take that spring out of the hornady tuning unit. Theres a knack to letting the brass centre as you're slowly using a power drill. After a few goes it gets fairly easy.
