In Jan 2007 alinwa posted his procedure (short vrsion) for creating 6ppc brass. His first step was to neck up the 220 russian case with a "long tapered mandrel". Where does one get this mandrel?
 
You want to use an expander mandrel that is made to work with the particular neck turner you are buying; the expander mandrel will be sized to work properly with the mandrel on the neck turner. If you use a K&M turner, get a K&M expander mandrel; if you use a Sinclair turner, get a Sinclair expander mandrel; etc.

By the way, if you have never done this before, here are two other great descriptions about how to prep 6PPC brass from .220 Russian:

1. Dick Wright's chapter in the Precision Shooting Reloading Guide;

2. The late Frank Murphy's article on this site: http://www.benchrest.com/FAQ/2.1.shtml.
