[QUOTE="orch, post: 1194755, member: 35688"] Yep I use near max book loads in 25-06 to fireform to 25-06ai... I actually use lapua 30-06 brass for it, Virgin 30-06----> neck down in one step in my standard 25-06 die----> turn necks to 0.015"----> load near max 25-06 with whatever cheap bullet I have ----> fireform ----> turn necks to clean them up and I make sure just to kiss the shoulder to help prevent a donut.... Some people like to go from 30 to 25cal in more than one step to avoid crushing cases but one step has worked for me in the 2506ai. I use a 7mm saum full length bushing die and go from 300saum down to 6.5 saum in 3 steps... 300saum nosler brass is easier for me to find here in Canada so that's what I've been using... I turn my necks to 0.015" if I used 7mm saum brass I probably wouldn't need to turn but it's not a huge issue for me to do it... In fact I'd probably turn regardless to even up the necks ... Going down to 25 cal I'd think you will have to turn regardless whether you use 7mm or 300saum.... Also the 7mm saum has a longer neck than 300saum so you may want to mind the OAL of the case if using 7mm, it might end up too long for your chamber and require a trimming if the reamer design was intended for using 300saum as the parent case.... Either way you should be able to make it work Another option might be 6.5 GAP SAUM brass... Hornady has made a couple runs of brass for GAP, might be able to order some from their web site if they have more in stock... Should be able to go 6.5 to 25 cal in one step, might be able to avoid turning necks too... Orch [/QUOTE]
