[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2721584, member: 807"] I load and shoot the 6.5 swede, original brass is slightly larger at the base than the 30-06 family of brass. Making 6.5 swede brass from us manufactured 30-06 family brass leaves a few thousandths clearance in the chamber and that can lead to disaster. Most of my activity using the smaller based brass was before I was aware of the problem, but with lighter loads I haven't experienced any issues. Buying modern boxer primed reloadable 6.5 swede ammo is not difficult or expensive. That is the route I have taken for custom loads. Currently I am shooting up the stash of Swede 6.5 surplus ammo I bought some time back. Here is a link to the folks in Stillwater I buy from.
