    Default 6.5 creedmoor still going strong on reloading?

    Did a trade today, got 250 plus (didnt count) empty creedmoor shells with most of the dies, body die, seater die, sizing die, neck sizer die. All Forster , lee , redding and all new never used.

    This guy shot but never reloaded. Got everything but never did reload.
    I dont reload.

    That being said, in this climate, whats it worth? Ballpark..

    I'll be selling it soon or trade. Just dont want to gouge, or lose my ass.

    Check the vendors, Midway, Mid-South shooters supply and see what the prices are and if stuff's in stock. Check on fleabay, they sell that stuff on there.

    Dies are cut and dry, to a point. Most are still for sale, empty shells new are around $1 a round. I'd rather sell the whole thing, but someone might say something else. 223 and 556 I got prices down, but 6.5 is a different beast.

    6.5 brass is almost impossible to find , I bought a ruger 6.5 in March . I found dies no problem , hornady bullets too . Brass not yet, I did find 2 boxes of factory ammo to get started .

    They must be getting easier . I know I spent may hours earlier this summer and nothing . I ran into loaded Hornady at Wal mart and was able to buy two boxes.

    Thanks QT. I guess i'll be counting shells this weekend.

    Not that it matters, but some of the brass have a blue or red ring on them, like a sharpie was used. Any idea why?

    Either marked em for different flights during reloading to determine optimal powder amount, or, used in PRS to find your brass after a stage.
