[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 719705, member: 2460"] Mr. Haas, you are correct... the max overall case length is 2.502" and the base of the neck is 2.155" making the length of the neck .347" as you stated, the reamer print drawn up by Dave Kiff of PTG shows the exact same thing !! BUT .... the case is trimmed back to my specs of a .342" neck every time the cartridge is fired (if needed) and will be maintained at that length, the finished cartridge will always possess a .342" neck, that is why I repeatedly used the .342" neck length #'s .... The case capacity is a non issue as you stated, I'm certain the variation in the parent 338 Norma Mag and the 300 Norma Mag will give different case capacities and from different lots of brass and dates of manufacture, always does !!! I apologize for causing any confusion ! I sincerely thought this wildcat would cause a bit of commotion, guess I was wrong, Seems that folks are more excited if the improvement in velocity gains is 100 fps or so, The 6.5 Prometheus might just be too fast and too flat shooting of a 6.5 for the LRH forum members, (is that possible ?) haha [/QUOTE]
