    Reaming dies

    Would these dies be reamable?

    Reloading Dies - Hornady Full Length New Dimension

    Looks like enough meat there to me. How much would it cost or does anyone have a 6.5x55AI die reamer? It's a mission trying to find dies.

    Won't be needing dies for a long while yet as I don't even have a stock. I could probably neck size for the first loads but will need them to bump the shoulder back at some stage is my understanding.

    Die metal is hardened and would resist reaming. Just use a 6.5cal neck die.

    Finding 6.5x55ai dies is what puts most off.

    Hornady dies you will not ream unless the said reamer is carbide and I know I still wouldn't like to put mine into them brake through the hardening and things bite.

    I just make up body dies or just make full length bushing dies gets around it.

    It did cross my mind at the time but thought it'll be alright
