I have an older sporterized Japanese rifle in 6.5 chambering. I have put off shooting it much, because factory brass is so darned expensive. Recently I acquired a batch of 220 Swift, which is supposed to be one of the cases that will convert to 6.5 Jap. I ran one through the 6.5 RCBS sizer die, with a light coat of STP for lube. That one looked like a beer can that had been crushed. It split the neck, and crushed the body. After thinking about it, I decided that I needed to shorten the cases first, to about the right length. I annealed one with a propane torch, just until I got a color change. Then I ran the case through my Wilson trimmer with the 30-06 case holder, using tape to center the case, due to swift having more taper on the body. I ran the trimmed one through the sizer die, and it was better, but still has crumpled shoulders. In the photo below, a regular swift is on the right, and the reformed case is on the left. Can anybody give me some advice on how to get them to reform pretty? Thanks. Wayne
