6.5 Creedmoor Brass

[Newsshooter]

Dark i am just basing that number off of what i have heard from others.

Yep, lots have complained about the Hornady 6.5 brass, not sure if most have ever shot or reloaded it. I have 8 firings on some cases, can't remember the las time I tossed a case for loose primer pockets. I'm shooting about 2800 FPS.

I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to form Creedmoor brass from 7-08 or 308 brass, and I have done some funky stuff in my time. They just come out looking like krapp are there certain steps or procedure to follow.

here is one guys method. he uses 308 brass. I intend to use 7mm08 to avoid neck turning.

he grinds down a 308 die to bump the shoulder. I haven't done it yet but I intend to use a 6.5 creedmoor body die to move the shoulder back. And I won't be fireforming. just load them and shoot them and that will fireform them.

OK I got it Thanks, and why is it that you can't use 260 brass, I read the diagram but could not see why it would not work.

Since the 6.5 Creedmoor started with Thompson 30 TC brass wouldn't it be more simple to go with that? Unless you just don't want to use Hornady brass.
