WTB 6.5 weatherby dies

[cb4128]

Hi, I'm looking for a set of custom dies for a buddies' McWhorter 6.5 Weatherby - McWhorter is sold out and they're backordered for months from their supplier.

*Our other plan was to get a set of bushing dies for a 257 weatherby and change out the expander button to a 6.5 and get the appropriate bushing size for his loaded rounds. Does anyone know if this would NOT work?

Thanks for the help!

it think the 6.5 weatherby is based on the 300 weatherby case necked down

I have one and 257 weatherby neck up or 270 weatherby neck down. This is on McWhorter you said your buddy had.

They are referring to the 6.5 Wby using the 257, 270,7mm Wby case...

Actually bought a set at Brownells a few months ago but sure they are out too

257 Wby bushing die with 6.5 expander button is what I use. Works great!
