[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 425165, member: 505"] The gibbs is easy to fireform cases. Always start with a larger caliber brass. Always anneal so they don't split. Bring the 30-06 down in stages to the 6.5. Neck it to where the case just fits into the action without a stiff bolt. This is your headspace and very important to get that right. Then one shot and you have a gibbs. You will appreciate the 30 caliber neck you started with when a portion of that neck gets blown out that far. The gibbs are definitely pure bred race horses.
