Info on Necking Cases? - The Firearms Forum

Gene Seward · 10-11-2008, 07:54 PM

I have had problems finding cases for a 6.5 Creedmore and 260 Remington. And was wondering if anyone could tell me of a book, manuel, or video that would take me from start to finish on how to neck down cases to make the correct ones from others. I know this may be a big undertaking, but I think I would really like to have a Creedmore in an AR platform. And as always I want to thank you all for the help yet another time. LOLOL

Gene, I load for a couple of cartridges where I have to form cases from some other round.
Its grief you don't need if you don't have to do it.

There is a great book & I have it. called something like "Handloader's guide to case conversions" or something like that. I'll find it & see if it's any help.

Thanks Pop! I am starting to find that my buddy whom I load for is having more 308 cases that are longer than we can load because of the length of the shoulder, and I feel like maybe I could use his throw aways. LOL
