What brand sizer will you be using, and what actual size do you want to size your 6.5 bullets?

I am thinking about the NOE system where you buy a die that holds different sized sizers so you can get exactly the diameter you need.

Without trial we cannot learn and grow . It is through our stuggles that we become stronger .
Brother I'm going to be Pythagerus , DiVinci , and Atlas all rolled into one soon .
I use the NOE system for my 6.5X55 Swede among others. Al makes a great product and the bushings are easily changed.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
OK first question is what size do you need ie what diameter does your barrel slug out at.
NOE has the best selection of boolit sizing dies available.
I'm working on 6.5s52 Carcano that slug out at .2695.
I bought a .270 mold from NOE
bought .270 sizing bushings from NOE and polished them out to .272
bought a .278 case neck expander and sanded it down to .272
use a 270 (caliber -- .278) seating die
Made a crimp tool out of a piece of steel flat bar drilling a hole smaller than I needed chamfering one entrance and polishing it to the right size
set the DIY "factory crimp die" over the loaded boolit
raised the ram under the seating die to crimp
then lowered the ram past the pipe to remove the crimp die from the cartridge
