6.5 PRC, what neck bushing are you using

As above?
My FLS die set (Lee, yeah, it was all I could get at the time) is way too aggressive on the necks, sizing down about.015 then backup about.008
Going to neck size and need a bushing
Thanks in advance

Think a .288

Don't quote me on that

I run a .288 as well

Need to measure your loaded case necks and subtract .002-.003 as brass manufacture neck thickness varies greatly between brands

Yeah I followed the hornaday YouTube video on it. Loaded round minus .003. Just getting ready to do 100 rounds and hoping to not get too much spring back from the adg brass. Damn bushings are spendy

I ordered a .289 and .290 when I was using Lapua brass in my last rifle. This current one I bought Peterson brass, but haven't measured a loaded round yet.

Thanks for the replies, after talking to a couple people, the recommendations here and taking some measurements on the two different types of brass I have here I’m gonna order a.287 because tight is right

I run a 288 with my Peterson brass and a 290 with my ADG brass due to brass thickness.

Measuring brass thickness is really the best way to do it. A cheap ball micromoter off Amazon will come in handy. I bought one for $30ish and have used it way more than I thought I would.

I tend to do .004 under and then run it over a .2625 mandrel which gets me the neck tension to my liking.
