I beleave you can use the lee collet 6mm rem dies on the 6mm AI also for neck sizing. I am not 100% sure on this but there should be someone here who knows for sure.

You need the full length dies...you can't get away with just neck sizing in a break open single shot with this type of cartridge...too much stretch

That's not true, I only neck size for my .280 Improved, but I do have a body die if and when I need it. ;)
