Just take a 30-06 and lube it good and run it through your 6.5-06 die. This is good and it will finish forming when you fire it the first time in your rifle.

I would measure the brass after forming down from 30 to 6.5 just to make sure the length is right they may need a little bit of trimming. Or you can go up from 25-06 brass because your only going up one caliber size.
