Skate_VA Double barrel Registered: 12/07/10 Posts: 79 Loc: Richmond City or County: Chesterfield	I have a 6.5 Grendel upper and am trying to use Hornady dies to reload. Greater than 60% will not chamber after full length resizing. A another member gave me about 60 rounds of reloaded ammo that worked fine but I don't remember his name. Anyone out there have a set of dies from a different manufacturer that could resize some brass for me?

There are at least 2 chamber types that I'm aware of possibly 3 or 4. The case holder manufacturer should also match the die set. Caveat I'm relatively new to this caliber and only reloaded 1 time and this is information I've read about.

Anyone out there have a set of dies from a different manufacturer that could resize some brass for me? I am using Hornady dies with great results, I bottom the die out on the shell holder. My upper has a Blackhole Weaponry barrel with a type 2 bolt. I went ahead and bought a case gauge also If it fits my case gauge it fits my chamber. Are you using 7.62X39 brass or Grendel brass the thickness of the case does matter. _________________________ Molon Labe!
