    Asking for a neighbor, has anyone had issues with new Laupa 6.5 Creedmore brass having undersized flash holes? He’s having trouble during the initial resize as the deprime pin is very tight. It can be forced, but it’s very different from other manufacturer brass. Wiki mentions the small flash hole on Laupa small primer 6.5 brass, just wondering if there is a common fix.

    Following this thread. I haven’t run into this issue but I haven’t used any Lapua brass.

    Anyone resizing/trimming .308 brass for 6.5 Creedmore yet?

    Yes he prob had lapua Brass for small primers. Supposedly has better accuracy. The decapping pin in a Normal 6.5 die is too big

    I am dealing with this right now. I haven't found a small decapping pin yet. Currently I'm attempting to sand down a regular pin to fit but I think I need some more aggressive sand paper.
