[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2165887, member: 115658"] Once fired .25-06, .270W, & .30-06 brass is real cheap and constitutes about 20% of my ammo supply. I once used a die set to make 6mm Rem from .270 & .30-06 brass. Attempts to chamber same length F/L sized .25-06 brass into a 6mm-06 chamber were no-go but should real strong arm efforts be made with a rifle having a long bolt handle it might be possible to chamber a loaded .25-06 cartridge into a 6mm-06 (.243) barrel. This is why the .280 Rem has a longer datum length than a .270. During late summer & early fall sight in season at the local range I harvest all sorts of good once fired brass but carefully inspect each piece including fit testing for neck diameter using an appropriate size bullet. Should I ever inspect brass having info regarding caliber removed it would be tossed into my recycle tub. Every thing gets F/L sized using the intended caliber dies. A real prize would be 20 or so .30-06 Lapua brand cases. Home ammo production demands caution & attention to detail. I once had a Rem XP100 (single shot bolt pistol) made into rifle in 6mm-..223, Beautiful shooter, I always turned necks after necking up. [/QUOTE]
