    Most people who shoot 6.5 CM will probably buy their own new brass. If they are going for precision they will want to get Lapua. If you anneal and don't push max they can be reloaded many, many times. Although I'm probably the only idiot who made a 6.5cm AR10 so it might destroy brass sooner. I'm on my 4th reload now and it seems to be holding but it does have scratch marks on the neck from the m16 style ramps. For your brass they will definitely need to be resized to minimum specs as well as other prep work. I don't know, get the new price from Midway, sort them according to weight, clean and deprime and market the heck out of it, people like shiny stuff. See if there are any takers for 50 or 100 at a time.

        Keep it . Hornady brass primer pockets are weak. It's good to reload. BUT the primer pockets get loose after 3 or 4 firings. Some will last longer.
        Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
        I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

          My Norma pockets are loosening too. Then it's on to my small rifle pocket Starlines. I'd vote for keeping it too just in case. Why spend the money, buy powder and bullets, but do weigh and sort your brass for consistency.

            im ok with 3-4 reloads for now. I have plenty to hold me over till factory brass and other components, become more available and cheaper.

              Peterson brass hands down will suit you better....... but if you have 2k use those. Hornady brass is known to have primer pockets that loosen up after 3-4 loading’s as mentioned above.
