[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 2557951, member: 88091"] Not sure about the Blazer, but the owner of Gunwerks stated on a podcast or in an article that the reason they couldn't get SAAMI approval was because they had a couple different versions of the LRM. Since they had sold rifles with different versions they had no way to know what chamber the new ammo would get shot in. This is also why the 6.5 x 284 never got SAAMI approval. It has nothing to do with paying people off. This is why it makes more sense for Hornady to create a new cartridge instead of changing an old one. You can't manufacture 260 ammo with 147 eldms because someone that owns a 1990's rem 700 with a 1-9 twist will expect that ammo to work in their rifle. [/QUOTE]
