[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1696955, member: 104022"] Initially, I thought that too. But, you can't really compare the numbers between the two because the 6.5 Sherman is a handloaded wildcat round using some very tough RWS brass and the Sherman is loaded to very high pressures accuracy nodes that ammunition manufactures will never approach due to safety concerns. Given the extra case capacity of the 6.5 RPM it should easily exceed the Sherman in performance.... IF the brass is of similar high quality and properly hand loaded in a similar fashion. Time will tell if that is the case here.... Good quality brass, that is widely available and sold at a fair price will be the key for the long term success of the 6.5 RPM. [/QUOTE]
