    question for 6br users

    forster neck die ?

    Re: forster neck die ? thanks g.h any opinions on whether bumping just under 2 thou at each reload is considered overworking the brass?or should i back it off to size neck only until they start getting tight again-is forster the only neck bushing bump die or are there others?
