I have a Neil Jones Bushing die that I have for making 22 Cheetah cases.The Cheetah case is made from 308 BR brass.Its set up to use 4 bushings or four steps downs.
I ran two bushing and then set up a full length 6.5x47 die.
You adjust the FL die so the case just fits in the SLR chamber.
My normal loading for the SLR is with a Redding FL S die and comp seater.
After the case is formed I neck turn two times,rough and finish with K&M neck turners and a power drill.Carbide mandrills and bits.
If I were going to make the SLR a hunting round I'd stroke a 260 Rem case one time in my FL 6.5x47 die and call it a day.
Be sure to use a reamer thats got a big enough neck that you dont have to turn..
Its just as easy to form and load for as Robert Whitley says it is..
So whats the advantage to a 6.5 SLR over a standard 260 Rem.?
I can just run a 260 without all the monkey ph-ucking a football stuff that your doing.
Yes you could.
The advantage is case life.
The shoulder angle on the 260 case is straight out of the 1920s.Your going to have to keep trimming it and sooner or later, if you shoot it enough your going to have a case head separation..you figure out when.
As long as you dont over pressure the SLR case and give yourself a big primer pocket.And keep the necks annealed.This case will last a very, very long time...ie think multiple barrels....
