[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 329837, member: 21375"] I prefer to reform military 30-06 brass for my 25-06. The "Greek" brass with the HXP head stamp works well for me. I get it for free at the range, all I have to do is bend down and pick it up. I do the re-forming all in one step with my Lyman 25-06 FL size die, trim, then fire form, then neck size with the Lee Collet Neck die. I have to bump the shoulder back periodicly but I get very consistent results in my Ruger #1V. I had a stash of new factory brass but sold it all because I like the re-formed brass better. I've been re-forming for my gun for about 5 years now and not a single problem. My guns chamber does not require me neck turn the re-formed brass. I had a slight problem with blow back (case neck and shoulders turning black from ignited powder) with factory brass but that has gone away with my re-forms. I think the slight increase in neck wall thickness worked to my advantage with my gun. [/QUOTE]
