6.5x47 brass

[dieselten]

I had a 6x47 Lapua so I took some new 6.5x47 Lapua brand brass and ran it through a Forster full size die. Shot it 3 or 4 times then re barreled. The brass is just sitting here and I just got a new 6.5x47 barrel. Can I just run this brass through my Lee Collet die with 6.5 expander plug to bump it back up to 6.5 and then load and shoot it?

What do you guys think?

Thanks

I would run it thru a FL die and make sure the shoulder is bumped to specs after you expand the neck. If it will chamber after that then you would then fireform it back to 6.5x47L chamber.

It should work, but it would help if you anneal it before you expand it to minimize the chance of split necks.
