Do all 8.6blk made cases need turned? Win 308 win vs hornady 6.5cm

[@DMHal01]

Yes most…even the Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor brass sometimes. .366” is Q’s spec and even the Hornady brass expands to .365” - .366” when seating certain bullets. KM Machine makes an excellent neck turner that’ll take care of that easy but make sure you get the negative .050” neck tension pilot. You can get by with bumping shoulders back .005” +/- and that helps get it through the Sheridan gauge test most of the time.

Yea, i spent all day one day reading the forums to find out that. And q’s loads are a little hot. Ppl also recommended certain trimmers, i already forget. Dont know if it was km? Reamers. And kissing the shoulder. Carbide pilot on the trimmer. I also saw some ppl got away with pushing the speer hot cor 225s to max loads, bit im weary bc these tech arent bonded and would ruin my linear comp/ brake. I ended up bluing a cart for contact and the bullet is seated too far out. I bumped back and they fit the gauge. I might try these for fire forming bc i dont have a neck trimmer or reamer yet. Thanks for the tips and happy loading

@@allthingsconsidered3211 I only use copper monolithic bullets. I'm primarily interested in hunting though, so have specific needs. I'm looking at standardizing on either Barnes 210 grain TTSX or Hornady CX 225 grain. I have subsonic for home defense though. Pity an intruder...If the suppressor law is overturned I would hunt with subsonic using a suppressor.
