Thanks for the input. On a side note, I have no intentions on owning a 25-06, so not worried about the wrong ammo in the wrong gun.

Running WW 270Win cases in mine with no issues. I simply run the virgin cases through the FL die, chuck them in the Lee trimmer on a hand drill(25-06 pilot), trim, and fire form. Nothing to it. I usually just neck size after forming.
The way I look at it is you're going to have to trim them anyway, might as well trim from the start and have them all the same length from the get go.

The nice thing about using 25-06 brass and boat-tails is that you can just seat bullets & go. No "presizing" necessary

For years I just necked up 25-06 brass with zero problems. If you have dies that make straight rounds and a quality barrel, should make no difference what you use.
