[QUOTE="98dyna, post: 1679390, member: 89121"] Which bushing are you using? Hornady says #375 for the 6.5 so I measured my brass last night. Savage 110 Tactical 6.5 Hornady brass once fired is 1.5535-1.5550, which is .0015 diff or less thickness than a piece of thin paper. Hornady new brass (non-match) right out of the box measured 1.5545-1.5550. I would be worried if you sized it at 1.5490, now you are getting really sloppy in the chamber. I have 2 .260 AI rifles, they have .002 difference in chambers between the 2. I bump sized for the match chamber and then the die neck sizes for the standard, no problems so far. The shell holders make sense to me because you can also use them for other casings. [/QUOTE]
