[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 28225, member: 637"] Jerry: I have thought about necking that case on up to 30. GEZZZZZZZ I think that would be a shooter. Velocity should be in the 308 range or better I would think. Good luck with your present project. I am a big fan of the 260, but I know I can't get 2900 fps accurate velocity out of a 260, you have my interest with that project. Initially I am going to just neck up the 243 WSSM to 6.5 without further modifications to see what it will do. The 35 degree shoulder maybe next depending on what happens with the first experiment.
