[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2731639, member: 116181"] Appreciate the offer! I'll have to look up that easy way. I have a couple hundred random 6.5CM cases I'd planned to use for this - so far I've set up a T7 head with a carbide 6mm to 308 neck up mandrel, a 338 mandrel, then a Lee 8.6 die with no button in it. Used a WFT trimmer to do the bulk trimming and knock them back to just over max length. Once I get the barrels set up I'll figure out the headspace using Redding comp shell holders and run them trough a second sizing die for the final fit. I have a couple cases cut short to measure actual chamber length with the Sinclair's gauge to set the final trim length after that. It's a decent amount of work but I had the brass and the time waiting on parts. [/QUOTE]
