Can factory 6.5 Creed be fired in a 6.5 PRC to obtain brass? What about headspace? Will the brass be usable or is this too big a stretch?

Here are the saami drawings. Note the minimum chamber dimension for the PRC is longer than max headspace for the CM, in addition to using a larger diameter datum.

Also, the case head diameter is smaller so it may/may not stay held by the extractor.
 
Thanks very much I thought it probably wouldn't work but didn't know the details. Wasn't about to do it flying blind! Bye the way any suggestions on locating 6.5 PRC ammo,, brass or dies? Regards
 
be a regular visitor to all the stores in your area a few times during the week, Reloading stuff and ammo is popping up here and there. Also keep an eye on the PX section on this forum, have seen several guys selling once fired PRC brass. Check online stores often also. like daily.
 
I found unknown Munitions looking for brass. At first it sounded pricey but its 50rd boxes in nice reusable plastic ammo boxes and they tell you the load they used
