Lapua, Norma and RWS are all excellent and have the proper rim diameter. Don't overlook Privi Partizan either, good brass and bullets comparable to corelokts and cheap.

Federal and Hornaday are good but they have the American .573" head diameter I believe. Winchester are good but fairly slow.

Had one box of Herters and I stuck two cases and got two misfires out of 3/4 of a box, I pulled the rest and resized the cases and used them for turkey loads.

I would also look out for Noslers on sale. I have not shot the 6.5 but other loadings were excellent and good reloading brass too.
