Guys I am having a 6.5mm dasher built very soon and was woundering if just using 6mm BR cases that have been resized too 6.5mm and then fire forming them is the best way to go. If any one has any experiance getting cases ready for this callibre I would really appriciate and feedback.

Mate have you looked at the 6.5x47 Lapua,it's setting the world on fire.Lapua are making cases for it.

Mate to be honest i havn't, the reason I am going to the Dasher is that I am so impresed with the 6.5BR but need a little bit more power at 500meters when shooting rams.

Tasco,

I have no experience with the 6.5Dasher, but I have just necked up some Lapua 6BR brass to 6.5mm on the way to 30 cal with no probs.

The Lapua stuff is 'el primo' brass and I don't even bother reaming the primer pockets or flash holes these days...it's all perfect

The couple of 6.5 dashers i have done, the guys have sized up to 7mm then sized part of the neck back down to 6.5 to create a faulse shoulder to fireform on.

They said they had no problems doing this to lapua brass also.
cheers,
Shane

Kenny why are you not using a 6mm-30cal tapered expander to take em up to .30 in one step???

I hvae runn about 10 cases through it to test it out and they all came out sweet.

Ogre,

I simply don't have one.....I guess you are talking about the Redding job

I use a Sinclair expander body with different mandrells for each caliber. I have not recieved the 30 cal one in the mail yet

it possibly could go from 6 to 30 in one pass but I won't know until I get it, I was just playing in the meantime

The Sinclair expander also matches their neck turning mandrell perfectly with no slop

ok?
I got the redding one from Hinterland

and so far it's worked great.

I only got the stem arrangement not the whole die I had to find a die body for it ot sit in - 308W FLS C&H small base die works great.
