[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 296422, member: 13833"] Hi Wade. I shot a 6.5-06AI for years and you Will end up with short cases (approx .015") The reason is, when you blow the case body out from .440" to .452" and move the shoulder from 17.5 to 40 degrees, the brass HAS to shrink in length. I used .270 cases and then trimmed and turned. In most cases you didn't HAVE to turn but obviously was better for accuracy. If you don't turn necked down '06 cases you can end up with excessive pressures because of a too thick neck. (depends on what your chamber spec is? I now shoot a 6.5 Sherman which is my own design based on a .270 case. It is similar to the Ackley case but has considerable more case capacity. When I fire form it shortens approx. .015"Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me.....Rich [/QUOTE]
