[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 711210, member: 9551"] I am assembling the pieces to build a 6.5-06 or 6.5-270 Win. I have two 6.5 WSM rifles and a 6.5 -284 currently. I started with two M70 Westerners in .264 Win Mag. The advantage of the 6.5-270 or '06 is the longer neck. You can size half way down and still have a section unsized to center the neck in the chamber. I want a longer neck than my 6.5-284. I have also found that Vihtavuori N-560 power is well matched for the 6.5-284 case volume with 120 to 130 gr bullets. If all you want to shoot is these bullets, 130 AB, 129 SST, and 120 Btips then you do not need the larger case volume to achieve the same velocity. What I need help with is dies. [B]What are you using for sizing dies[/B]? What have you learned about sizing? I intend to use .270 brass from Norma (Nosler). I have access to annealing machine to extend case life. I will use the reamer to cut a Wilson seating die from a blank. This is the only way to seat. I have 11 Wilson seating dies in rifle calibers. Please help with your sizing die recommendations. I could use a reamer too. [/QUOTE]
