[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1765682, member: 30592"] About 30 years ago, I did something similar with the shoulder. I didn't change the shoulder diameter to an AI but I did change the angle by pushing the neck back. I had a die made that would push the neck/shoulder junction back leaving the body/shoulder junction in the same place but changing the shoulder angle to 26°. This was a 6mm-280 Remington. I could also use 270 Winchester cases but the shoulder wouldn't be fully formed by the die. Making a 6.5, you could probably push the necks back to 30° with ease. I would rather have a 30° shoulder than a 40° and would rather have the standard 06 case taper than the AI taper. [/QUOTE]
