Dies for 6.5 x 53 Rimed Dutch?
« on: November 21, 2013, 10:13:05 PM »
I have a old Dutch Rifle and some brass that was converted from 303 British by Old Western Scrounger. Finding new brass made in Australia but recommended to be run through a full length die before reloading. Also information on annealing the cases converted to 6.5 x 53 R from 303 Brit or 30-40 Krag.
Looking for the Dies, length gauge, and used brass. Any help and info would be appreciated.
Lot of fun to shoot and quite accurate.
Thanks

I see that Buffalo Arms carries RCBS dies for that caliber.  They're usually a good source for obsolete cartridge reloading.  It's out of stock right now but available for back order.  Alternatively you could probably just call up RCBS and order them directly.

Hornady will also make the Dies from a fired brass case.
Thanks for the link to Buffalo Arms, they are priced right too.
