[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 28223, member: 8947"] Performance for the 6.5 WSSM should be similar to the 6.5-284Win. Case size is very similar. This would surely test the benefits of a short fat case. Would consider improving the shoulder to 35 to 40deg. Helps with case stretching and will give a little bit more case capacity. With a little development, should be every bit as good as other 6.5 cartridges. My present toy is a 6.5 based on a '08 case. Imagine a "short" 30 Gibbs. Should be forming brass today. Need my throating reamer to show up to do final fitting. Hope to get 2900fps+ with 140gr bullets. Let us know how it turns out... Jerry [/QUOTE]
