[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 36731, member: 10"] MOA, The brass for the AM rounds is designed of a factory parent case which is very easy to get. It will also be easy to form. I will be offereing formed brass which will only need to be fireformed and they will be ready to go. I will be selling the formed brass for around $25.00 to $30.00 per 50 cases. The AM round were designed to use the common standard belted magnum bolt face so that there would not be any expensive modifications needed. To open your standard '06 bolt face up and install a Sako extraactor would be no problem at all. The 257 AM will also be able to be squeezed into a standard length action with an oal shortened to 3.400" compared to the original design length of 3.600". This would certainly take up a small amount of case volume but it would still be the fastest 257 around and it would still out perform the 257 STW by at least 100 fps and out of a standard action. This was one design aspact I wanted in the 25 version of the AM rounds. The 6.5mm AM could also be fitted into a standard length action for use with the conventional hunting bullet weights such as the 120 gr Ballistic Tip and up to the 140 class flat base hunting bullets. The long nosed match, VLD or ULD bullets will need a long action if a repeating rifle is desired. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
