Waiting on new rifle due about Fall or so. Been stocking up on loading equipment but lots on backorder. Wanting to know neck O.D. of loaded round for 6.5 creedmoor with both nosler and hornady brass to get the correct bushings for redding FL type s dies and to know for comparison of new rifle chamber specs when I get it. Thanks!
Loaded Round Neck O.D. for a new 6.5 creedmoor
- Thread starter bbowles
- Start date
The .288 bushing will yield too much neck tension with the nosler brass. Im using a .290 bushing for nosler and .289 for hornady. Your brass neck thickness may vary. Best option is to order .288-.291
So what is your loaded round neck OD for nosler and hornady? Assuming your bushings are .002 less?
Loaded round with Hornady brass measures .289 - .291. I am primarily using .288 and .290 bushings.

My .289 was a little to light on most of my hornady brass. .288 would be perfect.

Huh.
Seems the hornady brass varies a bit. I'm just getting a newbie friend up and running - was at his house just last night. His loaded factory ammo mics between .2875" and .2885" across the neck.
A .288 or .289 bushing wouldn't do it for his brass.
