    6.5 SAUM dies

    Hey guys,

    I've been looking around for options on 6.5 SAUM reloading dies.

    Does anyone have any good (or bad opinions / experiences) with CH4D dies? I jumped on their website the other night and I see that they offer 6.5 SAUM dies - including forming dies for sizing down 300 SAUM.

    I already have a set of Hornady 7mm SAUM dies, that I have been using to successfully form 300 WSM cases to 7mm SAUM, Using Meguires car wax (sparingly to avoid dimples in the shoulder), so I will use this die as an intermediate between 300 SAUM and 6.5 SAUM. - unless someone wants to make me an offer on the dies.

    Cheers,

    Michael.

    I used Hornady dies supplied with rifle but now use 7SAUM body die, 7Saum Comp Neck Size Bushing die and the hornady dies for seating. Works grand.

    Sorry Mikee, misunderstood you there. Did you mean using your Hornady 7 mm SAUM seating die as the 6.5 SAUM seating die?

    Yep but I think the seating stem was changed. KG would be able to tell you for sure I got the hornady die set off him with my rifle and it works bloody well> i brought the Redding dies cause well um they were shiny and I like shiny stuff.
    I Use a Dillon 550 to load on so to make brass a 7Saum die goes in station on and the neck size die in station 2 and a way we go. 300saum in one end and 6.5saum out the other end
