[QUOTE="BoatTail, post: 2036555, member: 74670"] One I wanted to consider is a Weatherby 30-6.5 RPM wildcat. It is basically a long version of the 284 Win case and takes advantage of the wider case but fits the standard bolt face and action like the 30-06. PTG has a reamer for this. Cases can easily be formed using Weatherby 6.5 RPM cases and necking them up to 30 caliber. Playing around in QuickLoad it should get somewhere between 3060 and 3100 FPS with a 180 gr Accubond and a 26 in barrel depending on the powder. Dropping to a 24 in barrel reduced the velocity by 30 FPS or more. [/QUOTE]
