[QUOTE="Ron54, post: 1185572, member: 95618"] Hi Y'all, New member , first post. I got this 6.5/.375 Ruger "idea", last week, and after making some dummy brass I googled this thread, to see who has done this before. I have abandoned the "6.5 Creedmost" moniker. "6.5/.375 Ruger" or ".264 Ruger" sounds good to me. Here is my dummy work: First step from .375 Ruger to .308/.375 Ruger, using a .338 Lapua Magnum die, then a 300 Lapua Magnum die, then a 300 Ruger Compact Magnum die to smooth out the neck and shoulder: [IMG]http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Ron395/6-5%20Creedmost/a8ba784f-0dca-4411-ac50-ed04f7c1c0b5_zps75yvgvxb.jpg[/IMG] Then a 28 Nosler FL die and a 26 Nosler FL die are used for the necking down steps from .308>>>.284 and .284>>>.264: [IMG]http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Ron395/6-5%20Creedmost/100_7064_zpsg49q2u7t.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Ron395/6-5%20Creedmost/100_7065_zpsmrrjzjcx.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Ron395/6-5%20Creedmost/100_7066_zpstdqbgsi8.jpg[/IMG] Seems like the 6.5/.375 Ruger corrects the rebated rim of the 26 Nosler and is not quite so inefficient (i.e., the case capacity is slightly less). :) I am making the transition from big bore to small bore after falling for the 6.5 Creedmoor in Ruger rifles. This is a 6.5 Creedmoor-more (Creedmost) so it ties my old big bore shooting habits to some new small bore tendencies for me. No psychiatric help needed. [/QUOTE]
