[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 531585, member: 306"] You made a statement in your post about the 240Wby "probably be a fine cartridge, but case supply is pretty hard to come by. Add to this the double radius shoulders at about 45 degrees, and case forming is really going to tax a press." If you looked at a 240Wby case you understand that there is no case that you can form to the 240 Wby since it has a standard bolt face with the belt. I agree the 240Wby neck .308" isn't as long as the 06 .383 both are longer than the 6.5x284 which is a proven LR caliber @ .272" and seems to hold the 140/142gr VLD bullets. I'm not sure which caliber have the better barrel life but my money be on the 6.5x240Wby case since Case capacity for it is 62.83 grs H20 vs 68.01gr H20 for the 30-06. [/QUOTE]
