[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1255471, member: 18849"] Sizing 30-06 cases to 6.5-06 & .25-06 in one pass is simple with full length dies and good lube such as unique....case wall thickness can increase .002 in theory but actually some of the brass is forced backwards to the do-nut area....have also created .260 & .243 cases from .308 in one pass...Depending on your AI's chamber and initial brass thickness you may or may not have to turn necks....Make up a dummy load (bullet only) and check for easy chambering...A snug fit may indicate that neck turning might be required...Use lamp black or sharpie to determine where interference is.... But use the regular 260 die for necking down to prevent case deformation and help maintain concentricity.... Good luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
