I have two identical 300 RUM's that won't stabilize 181's in a 1 in 10". Just ordered some 178's guess I'll see what they do.
Lee has excellent customer service, A lot of times you can use another die in the same caliber as they don't touch anything but the crimping surface, Let me know what you find outFinished my testing today with the 6.5-06AI and 123AHs. With standard primers Superformance ignition was somewhat erratic yesterday. Retested today with CCI 250s. Ignition now good and velocity step-ups were consistent. Ended up with 3514 @ 61.5 gr Superformance
That's a solid 300 fps increase over my 124 HH load in this rifle! Happy!
Now I'm curious about this crimp thing. Don't own any crimp dies except pistol. Lee doesn't list any of the calibers I'm interested in. Got an email into them. We'll see what they say.....
Yes Sir I have and sounds like you have done this beforeSuppose I could order up a 6.5prc and run my saum reamer in it. I didn't see any 6.5saums.

Nothing is walking away from that BrotherTested the 155 AH again in the heat. 80 degrees ambient temp here at time of testing.
View attachment 215423 Looks like a solid hunting load so far.
I like your styleYou have to make what you can't buy. I've done the multiple reamer trick for chambers too. One reamer to get a body and another for the neck. Just need to get creative on the pilots to make them work.

He aint a Flat Bill Hat wearing kinda guy is he?????Might have time tomorrow to put a few down with the 6.5saum. my buddy is bringing his super slow 6.5 Creed less. We will see if it speeds up with these. Slowest barrel I ever seen in my life.
