I realize reloading dies are harder than normal steel. My question....if I wanted to rebarrel a rifle to 6x223 (or 6x45, same thing) and couldn't find proper dies, what would it take to open the neck on a .223 sizing die to the needed diameter for the 6mm bullet? It would need to be .268" neck diameter. Same question applies to seating die....the neck would need to be .272"-ish.
I have never seen a cutaway of the inside of a seating die...is there a neck diameter for your .272" brass and then a smaller diameter (.244") above it for the bullet to align with the neck as it's pushed in when being seated? I've looked into my dies but there would be such a subtle diameter change that I wouldn't see it unless it was actually stepped.
