    6.5mm jackets

    Anyone come up with a good way to form 6.5mm jackets?

    I draw down sierra 30 cal jackets. I still have a bunch of 6.5s I bought from Richard Corbin back when he still sold jackets.

    I have a lot of 6 MM, maybe they can be bumped up to 6.5.

    Yep, drawign down 30 cal jackets works great. I have also been experimenting with drawn down 5.7x28 brass for 6.5mm jackets and bullets. Found it will make up to 155 grain bullet before any exposed lead at the tip.

    Swage on!
