[QUOTE="stomp442, post: 907954, member: 70571"] Im going to go against the crowd on this one. I say improve it. It makes an already great cartridge an outstanding one. Fire forming is not a pain at all as you will have to do barrel break in anyways. When your done you have a broke in barrel and fire formed brass. The performance gain will put you right in the middle of 6.5-284 territory with about 10 grains less powder. I have built two of these now and both of them are giving me 2950 fps with a 140 berger while only using 44.7 grains of H4350. My 6.5-284 uses 56 grains of Retumbo achieve 2960fps with the same bullet and barrel length. Besides this the brass work in the long run is a sinch since all you have to do is neck size and load. No more trimming and chamfering for you. [/QUOTE]
