I use a Redding Bushing die and a .269 bushing with no expander ball per BHWs recommendation for my 243 LBC. I size Hornady 6.5G Brass in one step liberally applying RCBS Case Lube 2 inside and outside of the neck with a cotton swab - but be careful to keep it off the shoulder. I don't see why the fat rat seating die wouldn't work. I use a 6mm PPC.
Perfect, thanks. Any idea what bushing I'd need for Lapua brass? For your hornady brass, how much neck tension does the .269 give you? .003"?
