^^^Not 6.5 , but this, or a version of this is what I ended up with on my .223. 6MM, and .308 best of the best loads that I could make..
YES, just like everyone else, I did buy CHEAPER before I got to this point..
You will NOT be sorry on the investment...Bill.
PS: A good quality case trimmer and case gage is your friend...
I have no doubt that those $300 dies are great, but unless you plan on some very serious competition shooting, you do not need those. I have used Lee, Lyman, and RCBS dies with success with all 3. I also recommend the small base sizing dies if you plan to use the rounds in multiple semi autos, otherwise, the standard dies will work just fine. Often the standard dies will work well with multiple semi autos unless you have varying chamber dimensions.
