7-6.5PRCW

@Alex Wheeler

I'm going to make the jump into the cartridge with your reamer. Do you recommend a particular sizing die?... Would a SAC Modular Sizing Die be a good fit?

I'm a little overwhelmed sorting out all the different sizes and changes made to mitigate clickers.

Thanks!
 
My reamer works with the micron die so long as both are in spec. I will be providing dies as well to be sure everything works as it should.

A LE Wilson 7 SAUM seater will work fine with a .031 shim.
Its what Ive been using without any issues.

A quick and inexpensive fix if you don't have access to shims is a SS or steel washer.
You should be able to source one that is nearly perfect for the job.

I've not encountered the donut as when I neck turn, I also cut into the shoulder which has prevented the donuts from forming - for now.

G'day Willow,
Are you just skimming the brass or do you run a "Neck Turn" chamber?
BTW: How did you go at Canberra?
I wasn't there but several friends were and said that conditions were very mixed...

Do you know if anyone has tried the Peterson 6.5 PRC brass with your reamer?

My question too, Peterson brass has replaced all others that I previously used...
Nearly 30 loading on their 6BR cases that get cleaned {SS wet} and AMP annealed @ time.
Have not lost a case yet and looking good in my 280AI as well... Flogged off the Norma and Nosler brass.

For me, no. Maybe things have changed but the stuff I have tried in other cartridges has not taken the pressure that Lapua or ADG will.

I will take that on board... Just in the throws about building a 7x6.5 PRCW.. Have never used ADG but the fact that they are making "ready to use" brass is a definite plus.

I think its accurate stuff. Have customers running it in BR. My 280ai brass could not take the same pressure as Nosler. The prc case can take a LOT of pressure so, I would say the Peterson should hold up.

I have not had much luck finding berger 180 or 184's and my stock is about gone. Has anyone tried 180 eldm's? what would be a good starting load for h4350, h4831sc and n555?

any other bullet I should try?

Just FYI, A couple months ago I Juenke'd some of the 180 ELDMs and they measured excellent.

Thank you for the prompt reply... I suppose it is too early to see if the Peterson 280AI will go the distance as it has only been fired 3 times. Here's hoping that the primers don't start falling out at 5-6 loads... 55.7gr of 4831SC is working quite well behind Berger 184's and not showing any pressure.

Running a neck turn chamber with a .315 neck.
