[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 63757, member: 8947"] I think you misunderstand. The case head web area is thicker then most cartridges. This is a great thing. What it allows is for better case life and higher pressures without case bulging. The upper part and neck of the case is no different then any other. If the 25WSSM is an indicator, this case will approximate '06 variants ie the 25-06. This then makes it ideal for the 140/142gr 6.5. The key is how much slow burning powder will fit. I bet you can get 52 to 55gr of powder in that case. That will get you to 3000fps easily, in a long barrel. That is the same case capacity as the 6.5-284. If you want bigger then the 6.5-06 and 6.5WSM will make you happy. I am also shy about the RSAUM as it may not survive in the marketplace. You might want to contact Rem and see if they will say anything. Jerry [/QUOTE]
