[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2411114, member: 10755"] I’ve been running necked down 7RM brass in my 264’s for years. In Australia, we haven’t had ANY 264WM brass or loaded ammo for a very long time. The only issue I have seen is some necks become a little thick, but if you go slow enough it can be avoided. I have never lost a case doing so and the brass lasts just like any other. My love for the 6.5mm started when I got my first 6.5x55 Swede in the early 90’s. It was a spoterized Mauser ‘96 Carl Gustav built rifle with 4 groove 7 1/4” twist 24” barrel. Used it for military match comp with the Swede match ammo. It was superbly accurate making hits at 500 quite easy. I still have a barrel blank sitting in my shop rough chambered for 6.5-284Norma that hasn’t seen the light of day for some time. I didn’t go with it because it will finish at 26” and not the 30” I prefer…..One day. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
