[QUOTE=".284, post: 761136, member: 19604"] Sounds like a good idea so far What does about 3 grains less powder than your Sherman put the approx capacity at? So are you thinking along the same lines as the original for fireforming by jamming into the lands on the first go? Does it look like the brass would need to be trimmed right away or more likely it will grow into that long neck length? You or anyone else run a quick load on it to get some ideas in which powders may work- h1000 maybe? Looks like there would be about 70 thou or so to chase the lands (based on your neck length)if you did start to eat the throat away. I like that you are thinking to make it a little shorter than a 6.5-47 lapua as this would leave the room required in a standard short action to do so. Having that option with a vld's type bullet I very cool with a standard mag box. There was a fellow on Alberta outdoorsman forum. that created something possibly similar using saum brass and I believe he used h1000 - might help for a starting point powder. I think he left the shoulder angle alone though - called it the 6.5 extreme and his handle lclund I believe. I'm not trying to bombard you with questions by any means, just love new 6.5 stuff [/QUOTE]
