[QUOTE="19elkhunter51, post: 1693076, member: 14169"] Individual guns may require different processes to function and shoot well. Based on your comments I think you may have to FL size your brass more frequently than other brass in your other rifles. Maybe the incredible 6.5 isn't as easy to load for as other more common and mundane cartridges. How do you get consistent results by FL forming every time? You now have a case that is to SAMI spec but not a case that fits your chamber. I am old and have been loading for over 45 years. I only FL size case that I shoot in my AR platform rifles. Neck size everything else. I shoot 22-250, 243, 25-06, 308, 30-06, 300 WM, 300 RUM and 338 Edge. Some are custom barrels but most are factory barrels. I do measure after 2-3 firings and trim if necessary. I don't load for any rifles other than my own. If I did load for any other rifle I would start out FL sizing and then build the bullet for that rifle. [/QUOTE]
