    I used 270 or 3006 brass when I had mine.
    Never tried 2506.

    It is not a big issue sizing down. Still just a run thru a die or 2. But normally need a trim iirc

    I tried 270 brass as I had a shit tonne but wouldn't chamber with out a neck turn so it became to much hassle went with 2506 brass. Where are you located I could put a piece of 3006 brass through my 6.5 06 die and see if it works for you

    Yeah pretty sure I had to trim and turn as well.
    However your kind offer should benefit the OP.

    I no longer have a 6.5-06.
