[QUOTE="adamjp, post: 1877862, member: 40749"] No surprises there at all, either for the cartridge or the elkaholic. This is real data on velocity and barrel life, not pressure needed to deliver velocity from case. You keep dodging the question so I am left with an assumption that you are making a living as an amateur wildcatter. The performance is pretty much the same as that claimed for a 6.5 SAUM which is consistent with the very similar case capacities. A little more pressure for the smaller case and you get the same velocities, but more pressure = less barrel life. Reading on 6.5 SAUM from GA Precision suggests velocities and barrel life pretty much lineball in similar use. Not bothered to look that one up, but I am not surprised. FWIW I'm not a Sherman Short Mag hater, just trying to determine if it is all wishful thinking or hard numbers. Until there is proof by way of a pressure trace, I'm going to stick with wishful thinking and assertive marketing. I doubt I am alone in those thoughts. [/QUOTE]
