Make it from 22-250 or 250-3000 fire form and go
The StarLine brass is the way to go, a high quality product. Use a lot of StarLine brass in many calibers.
I agree with Preacher Jim on the 22-250 parent brass. I cut back 308 Win brass and lost a lot of case volume and that caused me to have to lower my max powder use as I was popping primers with normal pressure loads with 120 grain A-Max bullets. I shifted to fireformed 22-250 brass with 11gr of Unique and a 125gr Lyman 266455 mold and its a nice 50 yard load for fireforming or plinking.
Lapua is the only brand that makes the brass with a choice of small or large rifle primers. And yes, the Lapua brass is worth the cost.
"Lapua is the only brand that makes the brass with a choice of small or large rifle primers."
Found out that Starline does the same.
What would be the advantage of small primers in the 6.5?

this explains the small primer advantage.
6.5 Creedmoor in Starline brass with small primers would be good brass.
Bruce. Thanks for the link.
If any of you want them I picked up 32 pieces of (I believe) once fired 6.5 creedmore brass. I didn't look at the head stamp and they are in my shed. Give me shout and a PM with a name and address and I'll get them out to you. I don't have any use for them and would like to see them go to a good home.
RKJ. PM sent. Thank you sir.
Not sure what you're looking for exactly, but thought I'd throw this into the mix:

Winchester sells loaded ammo with their headstamps. I have yet to see just brass offered though.
Lots of brass out there I recently bought Hornaday from MidSouth.com on sale and last weekend picked up some Starline.

I do shoot at 1000 and beyond. To me it does make a difference.Quote:

Conventional wisdom says to select the expensive cases with the best consistancy and manufacturer prep.
Given the 1000s of $ invested to shoot long range target competition, it's probably prudent to do that.
All that said, reading the wind right means far more than cases selection.
