[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1219382, member: 12995"] You can, and some folks do. But it will require (IMO) an extra step to properly neck it down. I have necked-down some .30-06 brass before, and I FL sized it in a .30-06 die, then ran it through a FL sizing .270 Win die, then ran them through my FL sizing .25-06 AI die. Then I trimmed the brass about .020" longer than SAAMI .25-06 Rem spec (which is 2.494"), so I trimmed them down to 2.514" long, then chamfered and deburred them, then I primed and loaded them for fire-forming. I use Winchester brand .270 Win brass that I got once-fired for $25 per 100 shipped. It is a 1-step process to neck them down to .25 caliber, then I trim and chamfer and deburr. Then I prime them, and load them with a 75-85% charge of RL 19, then seat the bullets where they are pressed into the lands and the bolt is stiff and has some resistance when you close it. Then you shoot them in 5-shot strings and let it cool down completely between shot strings. I usually form 50 in a range session, and those 50 should last you quite a while. [/QUOTE]
