I'm having issues nicking down 6.5 284 Lapua brass to 6mm. I thought going from .264 to .243 could be done in one pass...but its donuting and pushing the shoulder back. I've seen a couple other threads on this with some saying to go to .257 first. I didn't want to have to buy another die...is there a better way?

There are bushing style FL dies, most here use them. Your die should be able to do what youre asking. If it’s a Forster die, make sure the expander ball is well down from the neck. Out of the box the ball is up near the neck/shoulder junction. You’re using plenty of lube I take it?
