[QUOTE="sj-pratt, post: 756542, member: 6953"] Finally took a picture of the sectioned out brass to show a comparison of 6.5-284 when the bullet is seated to fit a standard Remington magazine box. Granted alot of 6.5-284 are in long actions or shot as single shots but this kind of shows where the thought started. The picture is with my cell phone and is not very good quality but I think it shows the bullet base takes up alot of space in the 6.5-284, so a simple look would be by staighting the walls the short case it holds almost the same amount powder but will run at different burn rate and the case will be 90%+ full compaired to say 75%?? on the 284 case, making the short case more efficient. (we hope). The stock is all painted and I think the only thing left is making the full lenth sizing dies and we are ready to move forward. I'm going to chamber a take off barrel for fire forming, those Proof Research barrels cost to much to fire form with. Thanks again for following our project, it kind of spurs me along to get it done when I,m writing about the progress. [/QUOTE]
