I guess I could have just used an M die to squeeze the neck down as well. Might have to take a serious look at it because there is a ton more bullets to choose from in a more appropriate weight as well.

Re: My new wildcat, the 6.5 Creedless
What kind of water or powder capacity are you seeing with the 6.5 case ?
I was looking at some 6mm projectiles tonight from the accurate shooter site it ranged from a 58 gr v-max all the way to the 115 dtac. Which is a nice spread in weight. I guess the balance would be figuring out a good throat length to shoot the 115 and at the same time hopefully still find a way to shoot the light ones accurate also.
They make both of those bullets still, it would be interesting to see what kind of velocities could be attained with them.

Re: My new wildcat, the 6.5 Creedless
I have decided t use a 221 Fireball necked up to use 6mm bullets. It would be even easier than what I had originally envisioned. And it will not be a lot more usable as well because with the 55 grain 6mm bullet I should be able to get a lot more velocity than the 90 grain 6.5 that was the lightest 6.5 bullet.
Case capacity on a 221 Fireball is 21 grains of water versus 19.4 for the previous iteration.
Only thing I need to do is adjust my chop saw for the new dimension and it will also work with the 300 Blackout with a bit more trimming.
It is basically a 6x35 KAC.

Hey, how is that creedless project going ?
It would be awesome to read a write up on it !
I keep thinking about wanting to build one.
Who made the reamer for you ?
