Longshot: looking for 6.5 BC brass

Post by Rodent »

Anyone out here have any 6.5 BC Boyd Carpenter brass laying around?
I have a few, but am going to have to be making some pretty soon.

Rich,
I once had a 7BC, and it was in between a 7BR and a 7IHMSA. MADE IT FROM 300 Savage brass just like the 7 IHMSA.

Boyd is alive and well and comes o shoot with us when it suits him. I have asked him and it is a process. The brass that I have is 308 cases. Shoots great, but losing a few to splitting necks. Boyd told me what to do but it is a lengthy process. Was just checking here to see if anyone had some. I also have one of his 30BCs. Both shoot great.

Hope to see everyone in KY.
