    My 30deg 260 reamer is essentially a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 2.9mm longer case. It was around for a while before the CM became popular. @Uplandstalker thats great shooting

    It's ideal as it sits right between a 6.5CR and a 260AI. I've only ever neck sized, but some cases are starting to get a little tight on closing the bolt. Not that I've been counting, but must have 5 or 6 reloads though the cases. All RP brass that is going OK.

    @Mathias What did you do for dies, Did you have to get them made?
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    I bought Redding dies from the designer of the reamer. Uplandstalker uses a Lee collet die from memory.
