[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 675428, member: 43153"] It looks like you are on the ball there. I DID hear, or actually say, wrong. What I heard 3500 piece of cake about was the A-max 162, NOT the 180. Sorry about that one. That's more than I on figured on for re-chamber to RUM. The factory sporter barrel hardly seems worth putting 2 bills into. As far as pushing 120s out at 4k, there's someone else who says they've done it with the RUM. That's ALL I'm looking for, nothing more. That is at least until they finally start producing/selling the sabot that would allow to shoot the high-BC 6mm hundred grainers out of 7RUM. That should push velocity somewhere upwards of 4300fps. I have fantasies about jumping into 6mmBR, enjoying a big advantage. But I don't know if that would even be legal. My "final" goal is to achieve that magic 1:1 ratio of powder to bullet! But since they are still working on the sabs (they have been for some time now), I'll cross THAT bridge once it actually gets built. I'm looking at lefty's post a little bit more, and I'm going to have to voice my opinion on something. 120@3700 being tops for the STW really does blow, compared to 4K on the RUM. That extra capacity really DOES seem to make quite a difference, when it comes to the lighter weight rounds. [/QUOTE]
