6.5 sherman formed brass

[elkaholic]

Last time we fire formed for our 6.5 Sherman's we plugged the neck with bees wax. Filled the case like normal with COW and used a bees wax plug instead of paper towel. Seemed to work good.

I could see that working as long as you used the filler.

How many rounds do you guys have down the tubes of your 6.5 Shermans?

Thanks,

With that kind of performance that is great barrel life.

With a 26" barrel, and the right powders, we have seen 3100, 3200, and 3300 with 140-160 grain bullets.......Rich

This was what I was thinking of doing, I probably should have been a littl more clear with my question. Lol. All great info though, keep it coming.

I would definitely be interested in 100 pieces of brass that's ready to go. Cannot wait to get this build going.
