[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 2414292, member: 107384"] I have 2 6.5-06 and 2 6.5-06AI. I generally prefer to use stout loads with the bullet lightly jammed. I've fire formed hundreds of cases this way with no issues that I can recall. Be advised that the cases will come out .012-.015 short and may never grow to the nominal .06 case length of 2.494 inches. This may or may not be an issue for you. Like others I've used .25-06 cases, .270 Win cases, .280 Remington cases and some Quality Cartridge brand 6.5-06 cases. Since .270 Win cases are .050 inches longer in the neck than the standard .06 case, I've considered buying a cheap Savage Axis in .270 Win and having a smith rechamber it to .270AI. I'd buy something like 500 Peterson .270 Win cases and fire form them. The fire-formed cases would still be longer than the 2.494 inches and could be trimmed appropriately. [/QUOTE]
