I had thought to make some from a .223 rem set of bushing dies and just run the reamer through the seating die but by the time you have done all that and bought a 6mm seating stem, neck bushes and expander balls etc it gets pricey. Robert at workshop innovation can order a set for I think it was $145 in his monthly Redding order.

Valid point about expense. I went the bushing way, as I had a neck run out issue with my Hornady 6mm/223 factory dies. I think this is attributed to the shape of the elliptical expander ball not having a lot of parallel area to keep square in neck when sizing. Its a great expander for opening up the necks though. Changing to bushing die, with no internal neck sizing on return stroke fixed the issue.
