[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1253421, member: 22069"] Are you far enough along in the project to know actual, measured, case capacity? Just curious. Based on measurements of Norma 338-06 brass, I am expecting the AI to come out around 75 grains. I am curious to see if the Sherman case will have enough capacity to utilize RL-26. Not having handled RL-26, I have no idea what the grain size looks like. I also need to buy the QL update disk (the version I have dates to before the release of RL-26), which would probably give me the answers I am looking for. I have had a 338-06AI in the works for awhile now. No idea when I will see it. I have a rifle with a low round count, Krieger 5r, in 6.5-284 that I was going to sell, but not sure if I would be able to get the price I am looking for (even though I would be selling it at a substantial loss). I am thinking I might keep it and make it a 338 Sherman. Brunos is just down the road from me. I could have a 4-groove Krieger with no wait. Do you need a guinea pig to get started? [/QUOTE]
