[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 971873, member: 12995"] It's gonna take ALOT more work to turn it into 6.5 CM than it would .260 Rem.... I've turned 7mm STW brass into .300 Wby brass for forming to .300 Ackley. It worked, but not very well. The necks got all scrunchy and it looked like crap. Even blew a few of them out at the neck/shoulder junction. So i just started using new .300 Wby brass, and all was well after that. Scaled from one cartridge to the other, it would be about on the same scale of re-forming. I just don't see it being a fruitful endeavor without specialty dies to neck them down. It would not be a simple one-trip pass through like it would going from .308 to .260, since all that really is just the neck dimensions, and a slight bit of shoulder narrowing near the neck. [/QUOTE]
