[QUOTE="6.5x300, post: 275457, member: 10713"] Formed some brass for my M94 6.5x55 swede a while back from R-P 270 brass. Finaly got around to shooting it today and all went well. Must be less case capaciy then the Norma as I got same velocity with one grain less powder. Did get the slight swelling of the head area but got the same from win 6.5x55 brass. The forming was fairly simple as a run through the 6.5 sizing die minus all the inside parts. Then rough cut the neck to lenth in a small chop saw. Resized with the sizing die including the sizing mandrel. Final trim and good to go. It did leave the neck walls a bit thicker but the old mausers seem to have alot of room. I have read replies as to just buy 6.5x55 new brass. I was able to find 30-06 and 270 brass at less then $100 per thou so I had some extra. Good shooting, BT Sniper [/QUOTE]
