[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 528662, member: 13833"] Gary.....You are correct in the 6.5-06 with the sharper shoulder. My 6.5 Sherman has now fired around 1200 rounds and it holds around 5% more powder than the 6.5-06 A.I. I haven't noticed ANY decrease in accuracy at this point. The 40 degree shoulder directs the flame point INSIDE the confines of the neck rather than into the throat like a 6.5/284. I have a .300" neck on my Sherman. I firmly believe that the dynamic that takes place is very similar to directing the flame point of a cutting torch. If you have ever done any cutting with a torch, you will know what I mean. I can exceed 3200' with the 140's with a 26" barrel..........Rich [/QUOTE]
