[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 195751, member: 4557"] James Jones, I am sure the 6.5x300 WSM can do it, but I am sure your right about the pressures. However, I am betting he will get more than one reload per case. I am having a 300 WSM Varminter built, and I will pushing the 125grn BT at 4000+fps. The Norma 300 WSM Brass is handling the pressures fine and the owners are reporting around 4 to 5 firings per case. The powder being used to push the 125grn BT at 4000+fps, in the 300 Varminter, is 75grns of VV-N550. VV-N550 is a powder that gives higher velocities with less pressure. This could have something to do with longevity of the Norma 300WSM brass with this cartridge design. Also, the barrel being used on the 300 Varminter is a 1-15 twist barrel and that too will help decrease pressure. What case does Kirby's 6.5 Allen Mag use. Is it the 338RUM Case? And how fast is he pushing the 140grn bullets. I am thinking with a 30" barrel, he is getting 3600+fps? I would like to see Lapua start producing WSM cases.
