The article states: “After the first firing, we suggest sizing the necks so that, after they come out of your sizing die, the neck outside diameter (OD) is .002″ less than the neck diameter of a loaded round with bullet seated. If that doesn’t work, try one SMALLER size bushing for .001″ tension”

You actually need a LARGER bushing for less neck tension, not a smaller bushing.

I say dont waste your cash with the micro top. the marks are not correct and will only cause you problems if you try to use them. There isnt anything much better than a set of die shims to adjust seating depth. Another Opinion OF MINE is to always start at full jam and work backwards with seating depth. It is always much easier to work one direction ” backwards” while trying to find the proper seating depth. None the less this is a good article for the new shooter and the 6BR. We should all be grateful for the time and effort applied to make this site possible. If you haven’t done so, make a small donation to the site so we can continue to enjoy articles like these. Lee

I received a box of 6mm, 62Gr Barnes Grenade bullets and I don’t have any load data. I would like to shoot them out of my 6mmBr rifle. It has a 1-8 twist 30 inch barrel. I have 6mmBR Lapua brass.

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated.

Thanks, Paul

Paul is correct when he states that the hash marks on the Wilson Micro die may not represent .001 for each mark. No problem if you also measure the distance from the top of the micro die to the bottem of the bullet seating stem. Just keep a “hash mark check” list in your die box with the real world value of the marks and final adjustment as a quick reference.
