[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 444130, member: 25383"] considering the fact that there are at least a dozen improved 6.5-06 rounds out there; where does it fall in? The 6.5-06 is slightly overbore (not enough to matter much as it's very accurate). The improved 6.5-06 is a little overbore when using light bullets, and the 6.5-.284 is really about spot on (even with a screwed up case design). It's also kinda surprising that nobody's fooling around with the 6.5x57AI; which is probably better (also known as the .260 AAR). Velocities are similar to the 6.5-06 AI (maybe a hundred feet per second slower at the most), and are easilly formed from generic .257 Roberts brass. Then there is also the 6.5-.270AI beast (that might be a Mashburn case) to keep us all thinking<g>! Back to the 6.5 Sherman. How does Mr. Sherman setup the shoulders and the taper per inch in his design? It's important to keep the vortex of the flame path inside the first half of the case neck for barrel life and accuracey. gary [/QUOTE]
