[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 157039, member: 10"] Partagas, You are close with your information and you are perfectly safe in most cases to use starting loads for the 240 Wby in the 6-06. However, the 240 Wby is not the same case as an '06 with a belt added to it. In fact, the belt on the 240 Wby case is roughly the same diameter as the diameter of the '06 case. They are listed as 0.472" diameter for the head of the '06 and the belt diameter of the 240 Wby. The actual body diameter of the 240 Wby is actually 0.453" in diameter however so it is measureable smaller in diameter then the '06 case and as such does not have the internal capacity of the '06. That is why the starting loads for the smaller capacity 240 Wby are perfectly safe in the 6-06. I have always found Norma made Wby cases to be very soft as well not allowing long case life using high pressure loadings. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
