Thank you for the Thank you Lancaster, I had no idea you were going to make 6.5X53R out of them, a LOT of work has gone into those case's

Yes I found the head a bit large on Exmil case's, new unfired Rem or Win is much easier I think, more so if trying to load in a sporter that may have a tighter chamber !

I don't lose any if I sneak into my mates reloading shop & use all his dies from 308Win, 7mm/08, 260 then into 6.5X54 dies, boy do they shoot great in my Gibbs, the barrel is like brand new as I don't think it has been shot much if at all, unfortunately it has no bolt & I use the one from my Exmil Steyr !

Always great to read your posts, thanks again !
