[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2833195, member: 126985"] They are not the same, the 6.8X 51 has to be reformed into the smaller 6.5 Creedmoor. I like the 6.8 X 51 mm case better than the Creedmoor case, it has more capacity and just necking it down to 6.5 mm with the orginial case is the best option, and have a reamer made by PT&G. This would allow even more velocity. But even reformed to the smaller 6.5 Creedmoor, fireforming cases with chosen powder #2 hit a top velocity of 3156 fps with a 140 gr Nosler RDF in a 24" factory barreled 6.5 Creedmoor chamber. Remember these cases have Stainless steel heads, no brass case will take the pressure. The 277 fury has a low velocity factory brass case available also, but it's velocity is way down to standard 6.5 Creedmoor velocities..no advantage to there. Remember manufacturers do not recommend reloading these cases, only factory ammo is to be used, in factory chambered 277 Fury rifles. [/QUOTE]
