[QUOTE="Styled, post: 292256, member: 140"] You will have no problems with Lapua 30-06 brass sized in a FL 25-06 die if you use a good lube like imperial sizing wax. I just was at the range today fire forming and testing loads for a Cooper 25-06AI with a 26in barrel. I've done a full box (100) of Lapua 30-06 to 25-06AI to date with out ruining a single case, and they have all turned out great, although a little short (OAL). I found that trimming the 30-06 brass to 2.480 OAL once resized in a 25-06 FL die (Redding) would be right at 2.494 OAL. After fire forming the OAL shortened up and the neck ended up being at 0.288 with a seated bullet, so no "need" to neck turn. Although I have added neck turning to my loading and take off around .002. Using quality brass like Lapua, and a good lube like Imperial Sizing Wax will get you great results. Glad to hear from fellow 25-06 AI shooters! [/QUOTE]
