I am not at all worried. I can get by with a myriad of solutions as always. Of course their custom shops would be MORE THAN HAPPY to make me a set if I send in the brass. Imagine that! No biggy! my rifle will arrive in March to April time frame so no worries.

I ran into that with my 25 Creed. I was lucky that the case is the same length as the 6.5. Just used a 6.5 bushing die and got a 25 cal seating set for a 6.5 seater. You’re at a disadvantage as the 25 RPM case looks shorter.

There’s no way RCBS doesn’t make a die set for them at the very least. They still make 280 RCBS Imp dies for dang’s sake lol
I’m in the same boat as you Fotis. Very excited about this cartridge to the point I’m even chambering a barrel for it, but brass and dies are a sticking point at the moment

Have you asked Weatherby who made their dies for this cartridge?

I read the title of this and thought the cartridge had died before it started...
Does Redding make a 6.5 RPM Type S FL bushing die? Seems like that’d be the easiest way to get it done.

I believe the case is shorter than the 6.5 , that would be the easy button.
Ah okay. Thought it was just a necked down 6.5.

I have RCBS FL dies for the 6.5 Wby RPM. Give it some time and the major die manufactures will be offering 25 Wby RPM dies.

It certainly will help now that SAAMI has the specs published on their website.

It is. They had to make it shorter in order to have enough neck to grab the bullet. If it was 6.5 PRC length the bullet would have to be sat quite a bit inside the case where it would run out of actual 257 diameter bullet
