[QUOTE="sj-pratt, post: 754819, member: 6953"] The case will hold 50+ grains of powder and we pushed the shoulder back to the area that a 6.5-284 would lose in a short action because the bullet was taking that area up any way. The long neck allows the bullet to be left out of the case area. Its been a fun project and we are not trying to market it just thought it would be fun to show what we were playing with. You must take in to consideration that 6.5-284'S work much better in a long action or single shot in a short and the 260 remington loses case capacity to the bullet being seated to far into the case also. Have not came up with a catchy name yet, it's been 15 degrees or snowing and we haven't done much testing but it will be wrung out over a chronograph and I will let you know how it works out. I have some cut away pictures of the brass showing what we are trying to achieve and I'll get somemore pictures posted. Quickloads shows with safe pressure we should get 3075 FPS when the weather breaks a little we will see. BS or not. [/QUOTE]
