I would buy bushing dies for a 6.5Prc, then get the appropriate bushings for a 25 /257 caliber and should be good to go.

Well I should have been more precise. What do you do about SI part? 6.5prc si or 25prc si. How do you do that?
That just means it has an improved shoulder design, like an Ackley Improved case. Change the shoulder angle and typically reduce body taper. If you are wanting the SI design specifically, you'll have to get those dies from Sherman Wildcat Cartridges, or you could have custom dies made.

And / Or fire forming.

Not sure you can get to an improved case without fire forming or hydro forming. Dies basically reduce the size of the case.
As I noted on your other thread, you are all over the place. Please narrow it to precisely what you want so the LRH community can provide the information you need to learn and press forward.

New "Test" rifle REVEALED: 6.5 PRC SI (Sherman Imp)
I am building a new rifle to test a new case design. I will preface it by saying this is not my design. But I was asked to be the beta tester for it. I cannot say much about it yet but will be in the future once testing begins. I am currently waiting on the reamer to be completed, so my...

25PRC/SI (Imp 40°)
I have been talking about this rifle for a while now, so I figured I would start a thread to give info when I get my rifle in hand. I ordered a reamer back in December, and thus started the parts gathering for this new rifle. This will be another hunting rifle for deer/pronghorn sized game...

You buy them off Sherman's website
I'll will have to look them up. I did and they didn't have what I wanted. I do have one of the seating dies, and had it set up to my wildcat cartridge. I changed here awhile back. If changing out a barrel or having a new rifle build. I purchase a reamer for that pacific cartridge. I also get a blank seating die and have reamed for that cartridge. I do like what I see in the new RCBS seating dies. Problem they only make for a few cartridges presently.
The other is I see the RCBS has been purchase by Hodgdon. I wonder where that's going to take us? No faster than they are in suppling powders. :rolleyes:
