Do most people use the 25-06 casing and run it through a 6-06 die, or does the 30-06 or 270 case work better?

From my experience, making .257 Wby cases from 7mm RM brass, I found the least sizing, the better. In that instance, .264 Win Mag cases are probably better, as the brass is worked less and there is less chance of necks ending up too thick.

So, given that concept, I would use .25-06 brass instead of larger caliber cases. That's the same reason I use .25-06 cases when forming .240 Wby. brass. BTW, it's a lot easier to make 6mm-06 cases than .240 Wby. cases.
