Reloading Equipment WTB - Berger 6.5 mm 130 Grain AR Hybrid OTM
I'm hoping to do some load development over the winter and would like to find some Berger 6.5 mm 130 Grain AR Hybrid OTM to try out. I’m wondering if anyone has any that they’d be willing to part with? Maybe you tried them and have a partial box you’d be willing to let go? Willing to buy them...- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
Haven’t had a chance to order pin gauges, but did get a set of certified calipers. Using the new calipers the fired brass measures 0.295” to 0.296” before sizing. Updated readings using the new calipers: 1x Brass: Case Neck OD (empty) - 0.290” Case Neck OD (after loading) - 0.2905” Virgin...- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
Graye2 - I already purchased the 0.286" and 0.288" bushings (should be here monday) so that I would have a couple options to play with if needed. I also have a set of certified calipers being delivered tomorrow. With the sinclair mandrel die out of stock and the 21st century die showing a 4...- he lives

That's good info and would explain why my 0.290" bushing is giving very little neck tension.- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
Sounds like the hornady dies are set up a little different than the dies you are referencing. I was unclear in my previous posts. I am using the dies with the decap pin retainer (part 12 in image below) instead if the expander (part 13 in image below). I went ahead and ordered 0.286" and...- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
Yes digital calipers that read out to 0.00001". I was using the 0.290" bushing because I was expecting the lapua brass to run thicker as well. I went back and remeasured some of the once fired and virgin brass with a micrometer to get a second set of readings. Based on those measurements, it...- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
Thank you for the feedback. As you noted, I am using calipers that may be inaccurate or not be capable of the level of precision im after. Given that the OD of 50 pieces of brass measured exactly 0.2895” after sizing in a 0.290” bushing and the bullets themselves measured 0.264” I had figured I...- he lives

6.5 CM Neck Tension Question
I have been reloading for about 10 years now, but just recently got my first set of bushing dies (Hornady Match) to reload for my 6.5CM. I purchased new Lapua brass and simply lubed and ran it through the sizing die for case prep. I used the sizing die with a 0.290” bushing and removed the...- he lives
