[QUOTE="6.5x61Super, post: 327566, member: 19017"] aside from the NEGATIVE publicity received from previous WSSM owners and non-owners.....several things to keep in mind. 1. On the 25 WSSM, case necks are from 0.020" - 0.021" THICK! I got a Forster bump/bushing die from Sinclair..turn my neck's down and use the appropriate sized bushing for 0.002" neck tension. 2. I anneal my brass to keep from work hardening the necks/shoulder. 3. From speaking with other's..some have gotten (20) reloads on one case...one good consequence of the thick brass... 4. I can achieve nearly 6.5 - 284 velocities with less powder and subsequently will see longer barrel life. My goal was not to shoot sanctioned 1000 yard matches....but rather to shoot live furry varmints at "extreme" ranges!! BTW...there is a fella who won the 2005 1000 yard World Open with a 6.5-25WSSM. Heck...you can pick up used WSSM rifles [Super Shadow] for under $350.....and start from there... [/QUOTE]
