Couple weeks back I picked up 2 different NIB 6.5mm lee custom order molds. I dont' have a 6.5 but I've passed up a couple over the years because I hate the cost of 6.5 bullets.
Saturday I was digging through the misc shelf at a trading post and found a set of RCBS "6.5 U.F.O." dies. 3 Die set with FL, and NS dies and a seater, plus 2 tapered expander dies for 22-6.5. Inside there were 2 formed 243 brass. 1 that had been formed in a die (round shoulders) and 1 fireformed. Looked like a 40 degree shoulder. The price was right, and I like odd stuff, so I took em home.
I emailed RCBS yesterday asking if they had any prints or info.
Got a reply today, they were 1 off custom dies made for Wes Ugalde in 1990.
I wonder if UFO is Ugaldes Flying Objects?
I'm thinking a 22" encore barrel. I wonder if PTG has a reamer....
