[QUOTE=".30US, post: 1275271, member: 19108"] I figured this would be the best place to get the scoop on this new cartridge. I will edit to add the photo of the spec sheet if I get the originator's permission, but will list them below. Cal: 6.5mm/.264" COL: 2.960' Case head: .532" (standard Magnum) Shoulder: 30 degrees Action: Medium (written in pencil, "short") Twist rate: 1:7 or 1:8 Barrel life: It looks like it was "1200" with the "1" having been written over in pencil to "2200" Muzzle velocity: 3000fps with 140gr ELD Match (caveated as "Early Test Results") I don't think I'm ready to rechamber my 6.5X55mm BJAI, but it sounds like a good alternative...a lot like a 6.5 SAUM. The person who first shared it said brass will be available this April/May and loaded ammo in 2018. [/QUOTE]
