    6.5 PRC Once Fired Brass Sizing Trouble

    My Redding die does the exact same thing with My 6.5 PRC lapua brass. I finally just grabbed a cheap Hornady die, put more lube on the body and web and I no longer got those stretch marks.

    6.5 prc N165 load data

    If anyone’s curious, I loaded them up and the results were fantastic. I started at 52gr.

Charge weight/ Avg. velocity and SD (3 shots each) 52gr- 2899- SD 6.2...

    6.5 prc N165 load data

    Hey I know it’s been a while since this post, but I’m literally in the same bot right now. Low on H-1000 but have 7 pounds of N-165. Loading 143 ELDXs. Gordon’s Reloading Took shows suboptimal velocities at pressure. What did you find out? Were you able to load some up?

    WTS 4831sc Reno NV

    I bought them for a shameful 65/lb plus tax at a local gun shop but would sell them for a slightly less shameful 60/lb. I’m willing to eat the 5 per pound on principle

    This guy was killed with the 140 Berger 2850fps and died right where I’m holding him. This was with my PRC but the bullet performed excellently

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    I know a few guys who use their barrel blanks and have their local GS chamber them and they work great. I’m no gunsmith, but I think those production reamers get beat up.

    Reloading help - 6.5 PRC

    To make a very long story as short as possibly, I had a Ridgeline, shot the worst, sent it back, they spun up a new barrel, sent it back, shot good. Their customer service is top notch. The question is, why is it even needed?.. They admitted that the barrel I had was bad “so try this one out”...

    6.5 PRC Once Fired Brass Sizing Trouble

    Literally the exact same thing happened with my Redding Die in 6.5 PRC. It was so unreasonably tight. If I put enough lube to not get it stuck, it would dent the shoulders. I just kept cleaning the die and denting shoulders in the process. The die had to kind of break-in and I didn’t mind...

    Brass volume new vs once fired

    Short answer to this is yes.. Fireform fresh brass to form to chamber, bump shoulder 1-3K. If you size your brass back to SAAMI, you’re overworking it. When your brass is truly fireformed (sometimes 3 firings depending on what brass) add more powder. The goal is for 90-100% load density...
