I'm looking for suggestions on which 6.5 Creedmoor brass to use. In a short search I found that Hornady and Nosler both sell brass. Are there any other companies selling 6.5 Creedmoor brass? Any suggestions on which to chose? Where is a good place to buy Creedmoor brass?
Thanks,
Eric
Unless you planning on annealing your brass I'd stay away from Hornady. In my experience it work hardens very quickly and unless you anneal you can expect to start getting split necks after 4 or 5 reloads.
Norma sells the brass also.
Word has it the nosler stuff looks awesome. Much better uniformity than hornandy
The nosler is better but I have found in the .260 case for instance that on my 3rd loading ,I lost 20 due to bad primer pockets.I did end up using a different primer in some and ended up losing in reality about 10 of them on that loading.I think the heads are just like norma being alittle on the soft side.
I have reloaded my 6.5CM hornady brass five times with no signs of it giving up yet.i have shot the same 40 rounds through two 100 count boxes of 140 amax. I load IMR5350 to 41.5 grains to 2.82 with the 140 amax. They shoot great. Low moa.
