Has anyone formed 6.5 creedmoor from .260 rem?
I have a lot of Lapua cases.
Thanks

I have made 6xc from 308. It's a little more moving of brass than what you are looking at. It was pretty time consuming but doable.
6xc is pretty similar to the creedmoor case. Unless you really can't find brass, I would suggest against it. I had to use a 7-08 die for the intermediate steps. Lubing required a bit more attention to nor collapse the shoulders. I also got pretty bad donuts after one firing.
I imagine what you're looking to do is a little less work, not necking down, but you're still making your neck out of old shoulder/ body.
Good luck.

You are right on all points. Too much setback to the shoulder. I'll just get creed brass and sell the .260.

Right on here. Selling and buying would be better all the way around
