[QUOTE="GNERGY, post: 644481"] For the dies, I was originally going to neck down 300WSM brass so I bought a set of Hornady 7mm WSM dies to neck to .284 first then to 6.5. Then I would make a sleeve for the inline seater die to fit the .264 bullet diameter. But after doing some more research I bought 270WSM brass to start out with. I also bought the Lee dies for the 6.5WSM for full lenght resizing. Then I bought a Hornady 260 rem neck sizer die and bored it out to fit the larger diameter WSM body to just neck size if I wanted. They don't sell a 6.5WSM neck sizer die. I then honed the necks in both dies to give me .002 neck tension. I know a lot of people bought the Redding bushing dies, but they are expensive and my time is free, so I can customize my dies to work like bushing dies for the neck OD I wanted. I do turn the necks just to clean them up and make them the same thickness all the way around. Just that simple. Tarey [/QUOTE]
