[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 2413142, member: 75895"] I HAD a 6.5 SAUM and thought it was the “cats meow” until I attempted the second reloading on the then Hornady brass...primer pockets were loose enough where you could push the primers in by hand. Shortly there after, brass became about extinct. Also, I felt shooting the load with 140ish grain pills at extended ranges for elk size animals was pushing the envelope. So, rebarreled that rifle to 300 WSM and primarily used for elk. For deer size animals, I use the 6.5 X 47. In general, I feel any of the hot rod 6.5s are either too big or not necessary for deer size game and too small for elk size animals at extended ranges. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
