[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2436232, member: 115658"] I use .25-06, .270, & 30-06 brass. With the .270 & .30-06 I start with a .270 F/L die with no expander button. The next step is to lube inside necks with graphite lock lube then size with a 6.5-06 die with expander. I then turn necks to .288 OD followed by trim to spec length & chamfer. For .25-06, lube inside neck with graphite then size brass with 6.5-06 F/L die with expander, turn necks to .288, trim & chamfer. I have had best results with .270 brass. I think lubing inside necks helps to prevent neck run out caused by dragging neck over expander that might be off axis in die. I don't use an expander button after neck turning to .288. Brush the crud out of the inner necks with a spinning bronze bore brush in a cordless. I have heard that customs inspections in some places require the ammo head stamp match the rifle caliber marked on the barrel. This would be the only reason to go with Quality 6.5-06 brass. [/QUOTE]
