...TBH, converting 6.5G brass is the easiest and most cost effective method if 6ARC brass/ammo isn't available. Converted 6.5G brass can be loaded "as is" with your selected dimensions/charge weight/projectile and is ready to go. The performance will be so close to using a 1x fired case the difference will be negligible (in my experience). Once your chamber dimensions have been determined from a fired case or cerrosafe casting and dies set up accordingly, there really won't be a need to fireform 1st. You save on primers and powder that would be necessary if you were to convert 220 Russian, 7.62x39 or PPC brass that requires the additional step of fireforming to blow out shoulders and body to match your chamber......not to mention your time.
