    Question 6.5 CM neck bushing


    I bought a heavy sporter Shilen barrel from Jim and have Whidden bushing dies coming. All the bad I've read about Hornady brass has me wanting to make my own from other cases I have on hand. With what is a good size bushing to start? This is a hunting rifle, not BR, so I need some tension to keep the bullets from falling in the case.
    Thanks!
    Ben

    Why is it that I have never had a problem with Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass? I also read about the bad but I have never experienced that.
    Am I just lucky and always get good brass or does someone else always get bad brass? My personal thoughts when I read about people taking .308, 22-250, 243 and trying to make "better" Creedmoor brass than factory Hornady are...BULL! I am on my third Creedmoor build and have never had any more or less problems with Hornady brass than any other.

    I couldn't find any Hornady dies locally, however, I found them at Cabela's so I ordered 'em.
    Thanks!

    +1 on the brass, not had any issues with mine currently on 5-6 loadings. Oh and use the hornady custom dies also.

    Like it so much, going to build a 6mm Creedmoor.
