I'm gearing up for an upcoming 6.5 Sherman Short build. A couple questions for those experienced with this cartridge. Note, I have talked to Rich and think this will work but I thought I'd ask if anyone has tried it. I'll be trying it even if nobody else has.
I've got a 6.5 SAUM bushing sizing die as well as a bunch of new Hornady GAP 4S brass. I've got neck turning tools for 6.5 as well.
My questions are:
1) Has anyone used a shortened 6.5 SAUM die to bump the shoulders on 7 SAUM brass? It seems likely this is just as easy as using a shortened 7 SAUM die.
2) Has anyone tried using GAP 4S brass? It would, again, seem simple enough to do notwithstanding the brass quality.
