[QUOTE="WindTrax, post: 195202, member: 2606"] :) We think alike - I and the gunsmith also started there, since it has less powder capacity than the WSM case... the only problem is that from my earlier estimates, it's still more powder than I'd like - it ends up with (according to base and shoulder capacities in Load From a Disk's demo -waiting on the full program now) even greater usable capacity than the 6.5x.284... .0264in3 vs .0251in3 for the 6.5x.284. I'm hoping to end up around 6 gr or so less powder than the 6.5x.284 so as have the barrel last longer, etc. The other concern was the dwindling availability of brass for the SAUM I've been hearing about. I most definitely like the ideas on the dies by the way, very clever and practical thoughts! [/QUOTE]
