[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 88872, member: 8947"] Depending on the size of the chamber, you may be able to fireform the 25-06 as it comes out of the box. You would of course use the cream of wheat method, not a bullet. If you find that you are scrunching the necks often, you will need to neck turn a bit of material off. Some commercial brass is 16 thou or thicker so will not tolerate squishing smaller. Neck turn to 12 thou or so then size down. You will have no problems. If you just fireform the 25-06 as is, make sure you check that there is enough clearance after sizing to release the bullet. You may need to neck turn a smidge. You should have at least 2 thou of neck clearance around the chambered rd. Jerry [/QUOTE]
