Hello all.
First post, so I hope this is in the right place.
Hate to get smacked down before I get started.
Anyway,,,, here's my question.
Can I use 223 bushing dies for the 6X45? (Redding Type S)
Seems to me that as long as I swap the bushing and expander stem to the appropriate size it should work.
Naturally I'd swap the stem in the seater die to 6MM also.
The reason I ask is that I'm planning to spruce up a new SPS in 223 to my liking, but I'd like to shoot it in 223 form for a while I get the mods done and save up the funds to rebarrel.
Therefore I'd like to use the Type S die set in 223 form until I'm ready, and then modify em to work with the 6X45 round if at all possible.
FYI,,, I plan to use a K&M mandrel to form brass.
Any problems there?
Thanks
Charlie
