[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 654183, member: 23486"] My 6.5WSM is almost complete, i'm running a 30" Obermeyer with a Stiller S/A (i'm going to be rolling single shot with this one). the 6.5RSAUM has a few advantages over the WSM: With the reduced powder capacity, the RSAUM brass is better suited to the 6.5 bore (the WSM is severely overbore) & with Lapua beginning 7mmRSAUM brass production:rolleyes:, I would have gone with the RSAUM in a heartbeat. The RSAUM will meet the velocities of the larger WSM with less powder & also do so with increased bbl life (how much I can't say). I vote for the RSAUM, PS- you don't have to buy a new bolt if you don't want to, your 'smith can open the bolt face. The caveat being, depending on what your 'smith charges, it's usually a fairly negligible cost difference to order a new one piece PTG bolt with a better extractor, they usually fit better in your action as well.
