. Dropped back to .003 tension. Still gotta be gentle when seating new brass. Once fired they seat a little easier.
Didn't think about that in new brass. I bet it would with softer necks. I've had times where I shave copper off lol if I don't chamfer rightI chamferred and lubed the bullets with graphite. Still ruined/crushed 8 cases (expensive!). Can't get a custom FCD from Lee. They've suspended custom dies till next year
I've partially reamed the inside of the neck before to get better bullet too bore allignment in a 6.506 might give it sme thought something to tinker with maybe 25 thousands or so to get bullet started
Can we make one work? I'vemodified a bunch of themI chamferred and lubed the bullets with graphite. Still ruined/crushed 8 cases (expensive!). Can't get a custom FCD from Lee. They've suspended custom dies till next year
I've had a couple case shoulders collapse when I was trying to expand up the neck with a Sinclair carbide mandrel. These were 6.5-06AI with the sharp 40 degree shoulder which doesn't offer the support that a standard 6.5-06 shoulder would have. Never had similar happen when seating bullets tho.I chamferred and lubed the bullets with graphite. Still ruined/crushed 8 cases (expensive!). Can't get a custom FCD from Lee.

The nearest they have (when they make some) is for a WSM. It is too long by (I think) about .017 or so. I'd have to look at the cartridge drawings again? They don't have a 6.5 WSM either?
I cam make either of them work if we can find one, I'll start lookikng
Not for the 6.5 but thank youCould you get a 270WSM to work ButterBean?
