[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2220406, member: 115658"] The 6.5-06 is a real popular wildcat & all sorts of dies are available for it. The current ammo/component situation might cause some problems in finding 6.5-06 dies. Load data appears in most manuals. The Berger manual has a good write up on the 6.5-06. Almost all 6.5-06 shooters make their brass by necking down or up .30-06, .270W or .25-06. The easiest is to neck up ..25-06. After necking down or up the brass needs to be trimmed to spec length. Upon necking down .30-06 brass, neck turning is usually needed. Standard full length dies will neck down brass.. Quality Cartridge sells 6.5-06 brass but it is real pricy. The 6.5-06 is one of my favorites and I have been loading & shooting one for almost 55 years. I get into turning necks, annealing, and trimming but when I started out I made my brass from .270 brass & only trimmed it. [/QUOTE]
