Any 6.5-06 users?

TK177, thanks for the input. Just curious about using the 280 ai brass, did you run into any issues and and what prep is necessary? I also thought that 270 necks were too long which required extra steps?

I had an issue with the shoulders crumpling on the 280AI brass. I believe it was a shoulder and neck difference to prevent chambering incorrect rounds in factory rifles. I ended up sending my die back to RCBS with fired brass and sent them my reamer dimensions from PTG. The dude on the phone at RCBS was very helpful and I walked him through my issue. Not sure what the guy did but after that its been flawless.

Running larger brass like 270, 280, 30-06 or 280AI you need to trim. I have mostly used 25-06 to avoid extra trimming, but 280AI allows me to avoid fire forming.
