[QUOTE="Nomosendero, post: 1951094, member: 3622"] Yep, I agree with all of that. It does appear to be downloaded a little unless the laws of physics apply to all other rounds in regard to case capacity but somehow not to this one. And for that same reason we know it could never be close to the 6.5-300 in velocity but it appears Wea. wants to keep a large spread and thus more distinction. It appears they are happy with the RPM showing to match or slightly exceed the PRC. In reality the RPM should be just under (very close) to the 264WM. The case is a Wildcatters dream IF a good brass company sells quality brass at a decent price. There are std. boltface rifles in safes all over America ready to go (I have a couple). It's just a matter of when it would break loose. And can you even imagine how many MOA Vanguards with a Carbon barrel or fluted stainless for that matter that Wea. could sell for 1500-1800.00 ? I know they won't do that until all the potential market is realized with the 6 lug MK 5 but if they decide to after that, they won't be able to make enough of them. [/QUOTE]
