Default newbie 20BR die question

I just got a Redding full length neck bushing die set (#36666). If I understand it correctly, to form 20BR from 6mmBr brass I can adjust the sizing die (up) so it only neck sizes, right? I may get a neck sizing die in the future. Also it is better to neck size in steps and not to use the expander for any of the steps?
Thanks.

Default 20BR sizing

Need to say howdee!
I have a 20BR and this what I do: I use a 22BR full length sizing die without the expander. It takes it down to .240, then I use a neck sizing die (22BR) with a .237 bushing, next is a .232 bushing. After all this I trim to length, mine is 1.535. All of the dies I use are Redding and they seem to work well!
I think Redding makes 20BR dies, but since I already have a 22BR I was advized that I could use the ones I have.
PS. I use Imperial sizing wax on all of these steps!
Best to ya and I'm sure you like your 20BR!

As I said, I have the 20BR dies. I bought the following bushings- .254, .243,
.235, and .231. I'll do the sizing in 4 steps. I just wanted to be sure the expander is not used.
