Confirmation
 
I am considering moving to the 6mm Creedmoor. I already own a set of forester neck sizing dies for 6.5 Creedmoor. If I simply switch the bushing (6mm version) in the die I assume that since the body of the cartridge is exactly the same I can use the existing dies. I am about 90% confident that this will work.

Feel free to chime in

Thanks Cat
 
Thanks Cat your advice as always is appreciated. What are your thoughts on the Forester Neck / Shoulder bump dies?

I own a couple sets of the Redding Custom Competition dies and they are very nice but they are more than double the price of the Forester ones. Plus they are very difficult to find stock on.

Are the Forester ones pretty close in quality or am i just fooling myself?

Can't help with the Forster dies, I only have Redding S dies when it comes to bushing dies

Found something of Interest
 
I found a video comparing data on the consistency and concentricity of several die brands. I hope that anyone who watches it will find it helpful
