[QUOTE="leadman, post: 1257305, member: 47754"] I have a pre SAAMI 6.5-06 on an old Turkish 98 Mauser. I actually bought the Redding dies a few years from a retiring gunsmith before I had the rifle built. I use 25-06 brass and fireform with COW. The chamber is a little on the long side for the dies so this method works well with neck sizing after fireforming. 280 Remington also works well in my rifle as the shoulder is farther forward than 25-06. I don't trim the cases until after it is fireformed as they usually shorten on firing. A chamber cast can be done but there is very little risk involved in using the COW method to fireform. [/QUOTE]
