    Unknown Dies

    I've got a set of custom dies that I've had on the shelf for years and had forgotten about them. Picked them up when I purchased some stuff and they were in there.

    They're labeled 6.5 VS. I've had no luck with an internet search and know it's an obvious wildcat.

    Thought about casting the die with cerrosafe but not sure if that would work.

    Has anybody heard of this caliber or thoughts on how to determine what it is?

    A chamber cast can work. Just add the approximate depth of a shellholder to determine the case length. That should leave only the case neck length as a variable.
