[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 963671, member: 13833"] I was skeptical of velocities that were claimed with the short fast cases when they first came out, but since developing the 6.5 SS, and seeing what some others have done, I now believe. While I admit that I don't have exact pressure data, I know that I can reach 0ver 3100' with 160 grain bullets, and can load a couple more grains before I feel I am getting over according to case stretching dimensions. Some of the loads we have fired also check out on quickload. I don't have a good explanation about why they are more efficient, but they are! I also think that with the Norma case, minimal body taper, and 40 degree shoulder, pressures don't show as quickly.......Rich [/QUOTE]
