[QUOTE="Dave in Idaho, post: 149603, member: 1158"] [b]Re: ? for Kirby and other reloading guru\'s[/b] JS, The destructions that came with my Romain built 6.5 Gibbs (way back when) said to run through a FL .270 sizer die, trim neck as far back as the length of the neck when it is formed (he enclosed one for a sample), turn the neck to .012" thickness. Size through a 6.5 Gibbs die for crush fit (a neck turned and sized down piece of brass was included). Load with 55gr H4831 140gr bullet (into the lands if necessary),then fireform. I don't know about the neck thickness for your chamber but that worked out great for mine. I still have the two sample brass that were included with my dies and rifle. I will post a pic of the sample brass later tonight. HTH Dave Gibbs Brass Pics: Left is pre fireformed. Resized and neck turned. You can see the bump of the false shoulder. Post fireformed brass is on the right. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v414/Daveinidaho/100_1306.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
