[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1696860, member: 104022"] Looking at the pics provided, it certainly looks like a stretched 284 case. My best guess for case length is around 2.55"-2.6" or roughly 25% more powder capacity over the 6.5-284 case. That is within a couple grains capacity of the 264 WM. It should easily beat the 6.5 PRC by about 150 fps and that translates to over 100-150 yards of extra effective range over the PRC. IMO This should make for a great goat/sheep gun....I like it!!
