[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 866204, member: 21068"] MudRunner, I tried two varieties of AI cases in the standard case neck die. I tried a 22-250AI and an AI 6X47 Lapua. Here's the confusing part: My 22 caliber neck die is a 22PPC......It didn't appear to alter the Ackley shoulder. The standard 6X47 Lapua neck die [U]did definitely[/U] alter the Ackley shoulder. My hypothesis would be: the PPC shoulder is as big or bigger than the 22-250AI and therefore it didn't swedge it down. The AI 6X47 Lapua shoulder got swedged down inside the standard 6X47 Lapua neck die. Your solution might be to aquire a 25-284 neck die, beings the 284 shoulder is larger than the 25-06 shoulder. You could perhaps also get a 6.5-284 or 6-284 bushing neck die and use the appropriate 25 caliber bushing. With any luck that might work in a pinch.........I don't really know for sure, but it seems like it would work temporarily.?? Hope that sheds some light on your question. [/QUOTE]
