[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2523120, member: 27307"] You might quite possibly be one of the very few with an interest in this cartridge since it died about an hour after its release in 2008. This is the same story as the 6.5 and 350 Remington Belted short action mags which achieved more notoriety than the RCM. The devout, diehard few still find that brass is made available every 3 years or so. I don't bother because nostalgia for these cartridges has lost it's draw for me. Better cartridges and brass are available. Now however, we have the 6.5 PRC made from the same lineage as the RCM but accepted with much greater celebration than the RCM by a significant amount. It also eliminates that despicable (:p😁) belt to which so many objected to. Anyway, cutting to the chase, It's your idea, your rationale and your desire so have at it! Build it, enjoy it and show us the results when you have it finished. We really do enjoy reading about new projects and seeing the finished pictures! :) [/QUOTE]
