I've never been much of a 6.5/264 guy , 7mm is some sort of a wonder lust yet everything is in 30 cal ....... Dad was hung up on 25 cal but had a couple of 06's for heavy lifting .
To the point .
Dad hooked me up with a 264 WM which took me forever to find correct brass . The first thing I found was that it's too much of a good thing . Probably won't shoot it much .
Oppertunity knocked and I was able to secure some alternate dies to go with RCBS set . I don't know what brand the neck die is , red box that is formed like the CH boxes . The other is a match seater , are Wilson's packed in single tubes ? It looked like an inline seater in the picture . It's possible that the red box is 3 dies . That makes the least preferred cartridge I have access to the highest precision die set I own .
Dad wanted a 257 Roberts for decades and after some trades , favors and a dab of money for parts I got him a beautiful 95' built . Unfortunately we never got the chance .
The other gem in the bucket of oppertunity is a set of 6.5-257 Roberts dies . If these RCBS dies are cut as tight most of them it should make an ideal neck dies for the 95' .
The best part is that there's another set of 264 WM FL in with this for the princely sum of $23 in the mail Monday .
Anybody have a set of 6.5-257 dies that can validate a .258 neck ID without the expander ?
Any insight on what the inline seater I guess it could be a CH as easy as a Wilson .
Is one significantly longer than the other ?
Anything I should know about the inline die and it's general use ?
Will it be fussy about RN or RNFP cast ?
Any hope of it working with a paper patch .259-120 ?
I feel reasonably sure I can get my money back on just the inline seater if it doesn't work out . The extra dies/sets can't hurt the value of the FN 98 .
Someone was looking for a 6.5-257 die set somewhere so that's probably not a problem to unload either .
