[QUOTE="Aldon, post: 444049, member: 20047"] From Zeglin's book "Wildcat Cartridges, I get: Case Capacity of Gibbs - 70gr 35 degree shoulder Case Capacity of Hawk - 63.43 25 degree shoulder From Sherman his is - 70 gr at base of neck or 74-75 to top of case. 40degree shoulder The differences in them have to do wth the improved shoulder angle. Sherman's is designed similarly but his 40 degree shoulder desigen allows for .30 neck which he says improves accuracy over the ballistically equivelant Gibbs. By the way, I read where he mentions that the Sherman and therefore the Gibbs are similar ballistically to the 6.5 WSM. Do a search on Sherman as he has given us good information on it. See the thread below it contains a good bity on it. [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/25-06-vs-25-06ai-51474/index3.html[/URL] At the time I was building my rifle, Sherman's reamer was in use. On his suggestion I went ahead with the 6.5-06 and if it is not totally sweet, I will arrange to use the Sherman reamer and make it a 6.5 Sherman... [/QUOTE]
