[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1092389, member: 24284"] For the 6.5/06, neck down using .270 Win. brass. One pass with lots of lub. And, Winchester brand .270 brass is available. Use new brass. Be sure to check neck diameter of your rounds (bullet seated) so as to be sure they'll fit the chamber neck and have .003" clearance. Check case length, too. Max case length is the same as the parent case, 2.494". Necking up from .25-06 will give you thin case neck walls. Mic the neck section of your reamer/cast the finished chamber for size. Experiment with a few cases of each, surely you can come up with a couple pieces of this and a few of that. Most consider the 6.5x.284 and the 6.5/06 to be ballistic twins. The /06 will feed without alterations, the .284 may or may not. IMO, about all Rem. 700s can have their feed cycle improved upon to be 'slick', regardless of caliber. [/QUOTE]
