[QUOTE="Hard rock, post: 2413057, member: 116620"] Weall know that’s how Weatherby lowered the chamber pressure on his mag Cartridges it must work because they are alive and well .. I experience some of these new cartridges operate at higher pressure than some mag cartridges allowing more vel with less powder, also the brass is way better than it used too be Lapua versus Win., rem ,Nosler etc . The Lapua brass in my 25-284 allows me too achieve 3874 fps with a 90 gr hammer I know you know that is 257 Weatherby territory.The 284 case is a wild- caters dream case it already had a very thick Webb now made even stronger with Lapua .Back too the magnums most hand loaders probably don’t know the tricks too the trade getting the most out of a given cartridge I do , you do and many members on this forum do I’m glad te 6.5 Cartridges are getting noticed these days because there has been a lot of great ones over the years.The only thing there lacking is a faster twist barrel too take advantage of all the bullet offerings of today ,if I can say one good thing about the Creedmore it helped bringing back the 6.5 cal giving us more bullet offerings , but but you and I know the 6.5x55 Swede had figured it out a long time ago.
