Dies are readily found here is one site:

Brass apparently is out of stock everywhere. There are some threads about necking up the 6.5 PRC. It would be a bit of a PITA but should work. One poster suggested the process would create donuts which in his opinion would require neck turning. Thinking an inside reamer might work too. The one advantage is you could get brands of brass other than Hornady.

Thanks gents. I certainly never thought to check Gunwerks. Necking 6.5 PRC does sound like a pain, but it might not be too bad, going up in steps, and it's not like I need very many for a hunting rig.

Making it from 6.5 prc can work just fine. It would probably make it easier to just use the cream of wheat method. That's what I do for 35 whelen.
