Elitegt500 Report post Posted July 15, 2014 Long time lurker looking for some reloading advice. Fairly new to the game. I have a couple rifles I'm playing with, so there may be some more questions coming down the pipe. I have lapua 30-06 brass that I need to get sized to 6.5-06. What is the easiest way to do this?

azsugarbear Report post Posted July 17, 2014 Going from a 30 cal neck down to a 6.5mm neck is a bit of a jump. To protect the longevity of your brass, I would anneal the necks first. Next is lubing the case with a good lube like Imperial wax. Going down to a 6.5 neck will involve at least one step in between. You can run the brass through a Rem 280 or Win 270 die and then again through your 6.5-06 die. Most avoid the step by either using 25-06 brass and necking up, or using 270 brass and necking down (don't forget to trim your length with this option).
