Does anyone make brass for the 6.5 Creedmoor other than Hornady. I haven't been impressed with that Brass at all/....Thanks in advance.....

I hear Norma does, I also hear it is easy to fire-form from 22-250.

Nosler has been proving to be great for me. 0 prep, just load and shoot. Ive separated cases by .5 grains, but nothing more. Only problem is finding the stuff!!

If u guys want lapua brass for 6.5 creedmoor .. just buy 260 rem brass then cut them all down to 1.915 then I debur it to get rough edges off before I run thru die . I only use Lee die so I don't scuff inside of my higher end dies. Nor sure if it matters but I do it Any way . Once u full length them. u get a little detent round the neck from where the 260 shoulder was. I use neck die b4 I load 1st time to fire . Once I do that I load and shoot . Then there all fire formed and prefect. I also anneal them after I fire form . They actually shoot really good .while doe forming lady batch I was hitting 8 inch gong at 1055 yards I also shot clay birds at that distance. Give a try u guys don't be disappointed. They will chamber tight first time .i did 300 like that an I'm way happier then using hornady brass. Too many weight inconsistency. I did weigh lapua after doing everything and firing first time. They were all with in.005. Good luck fellas I hope this helps

Switch to a 6.5x47, it has the exact same ballistics and the brass is nothing short of the best. Its also more accurate.

"Switch to a 6.5x47, it has the exact same ballistics and the brass is nothing short of the best. Its also more accurate." I hear this all the time for the '47 guys. Someone needs to offer up some proof.
