I use a .268 bushing for unturned hornady brass and a .266 bushing for turned Lapua brass since it's a tight fit in my chamber.
An easy way to get close to the lands is seating a bullet a little long and drop the cartridge in the chamber and push it in by hand and if it sticks when you turn the barrel up you seat it a little deeper till it will fall out.
Not perfect but works well enough till you can get the right tools.
The poor man's method of using an old brass with the neck slit with a thin dremel wheel works also.
Pinch the neck a little and put your bullet in and push the cartridge in chamber by hand and push it out with cleaning rod slowly.
I use an old jag with the spike cut off for this method.
It usually works well and doesn't take as much time.
