[QUOTE="dirtytough, post: 1877876, member: 6597"] Someone posted almost the same thing you are about the 7ss. One of the smiths that has built a few 7ss and 7 saum, said even though they have the same capacity you can’t push the saum as fast. And also since there is no known loads pressure wise for wildcats you can’t use a pressure trace on them. That’s going off of memory so if you are interested it’s around the mid teens page wise in the 7ss thread I believe. Also an interesting thread is the 338ss thread. Where they talk about different powders no one would of thought would work. Which work in the 338ss but don’t in the regular 338 Sherman. Close to same capacity but certain powders work in one but not the other. Not much different besides case shape. Curious how 60 grains of powder in a shortmag would ignite versus the exact same 60 grains of powder in say a super long/skinny case? I doubt you would get the exact same performance. Anyway it’s interesting. Someone that has both a 6.5 saum and 6.5 ss should do some testing for all of us. [/QUOTE]
