[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1988237, member: 30671"] The current 124 Hammer Hunter started at 3960 fps, is still over 2000 fps at 1000 yards. A case capacity in the stated range is a bit elusive in readily available brass. With one of the Shermans being the only one I'm aware of. RCC can be a bit of a wait, but such projects move at their own rate. While all possible variants haven't been tested, a mono 6.5 heavier than the 140 +/- grains currently available certainly isn't a given, and from a practical level may not offer much performance advantage. Steve already has the reamers for the larger RUM case, as well as, Lapua, and Norma variants. Knowing the rifle platform specifics, and end use could be helpful. The powder situation is a bit better these days for the over bores. Put a rim on it and I'm in! Good Luck GL! [/QUOTE]
