[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1363852, member: 101755"] I don't thing you could close the bolt...so no fear of it firing... I just lube the case and graphite inside the neck...then run the 30-06 through the 6.5 sizing die just like I would any other 6.5-06 case. You really can't tell the difference...no extra force is needed to size the 30-06 cases. As for feeding issue with the 6.5-284...if you are using a Savage action...it being a push feed it shouldn't have much of a issue depending on the original caliber of the action. My 264wm doesn't feed very good from the original 270 mag well, but I plan to add DBM and AI mags once the season is over. It will mis feed if I put three in the mag. So I put two down and drop on in the chamber. It runs fine doing it that way. If you try to feed with three down, normally two come out...one of those get launched!?!?!?!?!? [/QUOTE]
