6.5 SHERMAN MAX

[Korhil78]

7max headstamped brass is just 7 SAUM brass with the different head stamp put on it.

Just curious & no offense intended, what will it do that a 6.5-300 Weatherby won't?

Looks like WSM brass with a slightly different shoulder angle?

Spend $5,000 on a custom rifle, custom dies, custom reamer and one off brass to try and save 10 cents on powder...

If you were going to spend that money on a new custom rifle anyway, why not save the 10 cents?

So it's just 6.5 SAUM brass load and shoot?

yep

 

[Korhil78]

yep

I think you just retired the Long action Sherman line lol.

VERY intriguing. What do you estimate a 124 hammer running at?

prolly just under the speed of light!!!
I bet it is smoking fast out of this thing.

This looks fun!
I like that it's just 6.5 SAUM load and shoot that's awesome.

I agree. I was almost sold on a 25SST running 116 hammers, but I just didn't like the limited options in .257. This should eliminate that excuse for me. 124's running around 3500 FPS will hit like a truck I bet.

Awesome! I've been considering a 7 SAUM lately - may just have to do the MAX!
