6 creed to 6xc

[Farmerboy78]

hey guys, thought I'd share some info with everyone. I'm not sure if it's been brought up before or not so here goes. I shoot prs matches and people always leave behind brass at the end after cleanup. for some reason they just dont worry with it. so I have acquired a bunch of hornady 6.5 creed and 6mm creed brass over the last year. fast forward to now, I acquired a switch barrel repeater setup over on the hide that has a 6xc barrel. after I received the dies I ordered, I got to thinking and comparing 6 creed to 6xc. there's not alot of difference between the two, so I ran a few creed through my FL 6xc sizer die to see how well the conversion will work. it works outstanding and I now have 201 hornady 6xc cases that chamber perfectly fine without any trimming. anyone do this from one case or another to 6xc?

I don't see a problem with the resizing, if the overall length is good.

Good Luck

the new case was ever so slightly longer that factory brass, but chambers fine in my rifle

and it's a cheap way to get 6xc brass!

A little trimmer work and you ll be perfect sounds like.

What is the difference between the 2?

Length of case and shoulder for the most part
