There is no provision for a rear sight. The action is drilled and tapped for a one piece base. The hole spacing on a Leupold base does not work. I am looking for a Redfield one piece to try.
I am playing with making some brass to fire form into 6.5 X 61 Mauser - a Brenneke round that never really caught on. So far this is the process to form a case:

1. Run 270 Win case through a .270 FL size die with the expander ball removed.
2. run case into 7 X 57 die until shoulder is set back to 6.5 X 61 length.
3. Trim case a little longer than final length (will shorten when formed)
4. Anneal case neck/shoulder.
5. Run case part of the way into 6.5 Rem Mag size die and use the false shoulder formed to headspace against - the 6.5 die only neck sizes the case.
6. Fireform with Bullseye and Cream of Wheat.

Without investing in a set of dies, is there a better way to form cases?
