[QUOTE="apexmtnman, post: 739872, member: 13022"] " Let alone go thru the hoops when the belt expands on the mag case which means you get to buy another sizing die to fix that problem as well." I've been loading belted mag cases for over 40 years and never had to "buy another sizing die to fix that problem." You set up your sizing die the same as you would for any bottle neck cartridge, to bump the shoulder back a couple of thousandths and ignore the belt and everything is fine. 3200 fps plus with 140's out of a 26" barrel is very doable with the 264, my Rem 700 CDL does it, and my custom 28" Broughton can get 3280 fps with excellent brass life. That being said I'm in the process of building a 6.5-06 Imp on a pre 64 action I found in a pawn shop and a 5r, 8 twist Kreiger barrel I had laying around. I thought it might be something to play with, if it shoots great I'll keep it if not it'll go down the road, but I won't part with my 264's. Redding has some type S full length bushing dies for the 6.5-06 Imp, or at least they did about 2 months ago when I bought mine, if you wanted to go that route. [/QUOTE]
