[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 296414, member: 13833"] Hi Wade. I shot a 6.5-06 AI for years and you WILL get short cases when fire forming any '06 length brass. The reason is because when you push the case body out to .452 from .440 and move the shoulder from 17.5 degrees to 40 degrees, the brass has to move and the only direction available is shorter. I used 270 brass then trimmed and turned to spec. I currently shoot a 6.5 Sherman which is a case of my own design based on the .270 case. It is similar to the Ackley case but has a greater case capacity. When I fire form the .270 case, it shrinks from 2.540" to approx. 2.525 (.015"). Your '06 case will do approx. the same. 2.494 to something less (probably .010 to .015". Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me..........Rich [/QUOTE]
