[QUOTE="Ross1147, post: 1822332, member: 106919"] Sorry you’re having so much trouble with the 6.5-06AI. I use the Redding dies for mine and they work great. Very fun gun to shoot! My gun didn’t shoot the 129 SSTs very good, but I didn’t try very hard~ 25rds total or so? It shot other bullets so good I never tried the 129s again. 3200fps should be easy with the 129s IMHO. I hit 3400 with 122s before pressure and 3200+ with 140s. I use H4831sc with the lighter bullets (really all bullets except the 156) and it’s seems to work. I think you are on the right idea with a neck sizer, but sooner or later you’ll need to bump the shoulder back and then what’s the plan? I think what one person said above is the best option, that’s sending 3 fired brass to Hornady and getting custom dies. Yeah it’s expensive, but if you’re planning on keeping the gun it will save you a ton of headaches! [/QUOTE]
