2 ways to get 25-06 brass:
1- Get once-fired 30-06 brass. Acid wash. Measure internal volume. Sort. Lube. Form to 25-06 in forming die. Turn or ream necks. Size in 25-06 dies. Inspect brass, throw out creased necks, buckled shoulders, etc. Mark bases with Sharpie so you won't fire the new cases in the wrong rifle. Reload as usual.

OR

2- Buy 25-06 brass. Size in 25-06 dies. Inspect. Reload as usual.
