[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 588162, member: 505"] Have shot all the Gibbs for many years. I have had better luck using 30-06 brass and necking down in two steps. I get less split necks and it gives a very nice false shoulder to headspace on. Like the first guy said neck it down slowly until the bolt closes snug. That is your headspace and it will not drive the case forward upon firing causing a bad situation. You are better to use largr caliber brass than smaller because the brass expands so much into the neck of your parent brass. The Gibbs neck is very short. It will give velocities near the 264 winchester which is a plus using cheap '06 brass. I have a long range heavy rifle in this cartridge that is extremely accurate. Also the same rifle in 6mm Gibbs.
