6.5 Brass

[Dr.J]

I’m starting to reload for 6.5 Creedmoor and looking for a recommendation regarding cases. I’m loading for a Winchester 1885 single shot. Other than Lapua, which cases have met with your satisfaction. Thanks, Tom

Peterson brass works great in both of my 6.5-CM rifles.

I like the Peterson with the small primer pockets.

Alpha with the small primer pockets has worked well for me in the 6.5 CM.

Been using Starline small primer brass for 7 years. Tried Hornady and after 3 reloads I threw them out.

Lapua and Starline sp also work for me. Whatta Hobby!

Sig makes great brass.

Most every brand will be compared to Lapua. PV has a good sale on today.

Just my experience with the Starline, I have the LRP and SRP primer cases, both work in my bolt gun, but the LRP cases give a little more velocity, using 41gns of RL16 with WIN LRP's I get around 2730fps with a 147gn ELDM, SRP cases I get in the 2690fps with the WIN SRP's cases, same bullet and charge weight of powder. I prefer the LRP cases in my bolt gun and run the SRP cases in my AR10, accuracy wise I see no difference in the brass.

Brass is by far the cheapest component that you will purchase (per shot), so dont be afraid to pay up for top quality brass. I have Lapua SRP 6.5CM brass going on its 13th firing. Lapua has been the gold standard for years.
