Neck sizing bushes

I am about to order some Forster dies for an upcoming 6x47Lapua build
but the neck die uses bushes not expander. I think I should get at least 3
but not sure what size for the correct neck tension.
The reamer that will be used is a .272 neck, could someone help :?
I,m told this is a no turn neck, is that also correct?
Thanks in advance

I am running a 269 bushing on unturned brass in my 6x47L, then after the second firing giving them a light skim and using a 267.

I use a body die and the Forster FLS die as per this article http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/201 ... 47-to-6mm/

Thanks for the replies & links fellas.
I have a gut feeling the old 22/250 might become a safe queen :lol: :lol:

Seat a projectile in a couple of cases ,then measure the outside of the neck ,as a ready reckoner........subtract 2 thou from that figure.
