[QUOTE="akhunter, post: 374173, member: 9018"] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Ok since bushing dies are the answer let me take the question one step further. I currently have and load for a 300 saum. I just have standard dies for it. My gunsmith recommended getting the 300 bushing dies and adjusting for the 6.5. That got me thinking maybe I could load for both the 300 and 6.5 with the same basic set of dies and just change the internal parts necessary. I called Redding and asked them that question. They said as a company they can’t recommend going more than one caliber size down but that it would work. The guy at Redding recommended using the 7mm saum and adjusting it down from there. I suppose it also makes sense to use 7mm saum brass as well. I thought the only difference between the 7mm and 300 saum was the neck and that the body was the same. So I wondered why I couldn’t just get 300 saum dies, load for that gun and get the internal parts to do the same for the 6.5.
